For me, during the ordeal of Gustav, lots of things were hard. Like packing for an evacuation, traveling in traffic jams, and hunkering down during a hurricane.
But for me, the hardest thing of all was watching the media – yet again – blame the citizens of New Orleans for the difficulties and hardships we are going through. And the winner is The Boston Globe. An article by the Globe starts with this sentence:
“Hurricane Katrina brought shame upon a fabled American city…”
The article was chock full of the myths and misinformation that New Orleans citizens have been working for three years to dispel. And it’s the reason we at levees.org created our latest video “The Katrina Myth.”
If you haven’t yet, please click the link, watch the short video and rate it. It’s got a top rating on YouTube, but we need to keep it there! Your action is important. Then forward to your fam and friends!
Thanks for your help!
