The alarm has been sounded. Hurricane Katrina was a wake up call to the people in this country. The ways in which race, class and income disparities continue to plague this nation has never been so clearly illustrated. What do we do with this moment? How can we support rebuilding efforts that address these social and economic inequities? This session will explore post-Katrina construction in its broadest context including how to connect those efforts to maintain and spark a broader discussion about race and class in America.
