Today, New Orleans columnist Stephanie Grace, in thanking college spring break volunteers who are heading in this direction, said this:
“…we work hard to remind people that the vast majority of the Katrina victims aren’t scam artists. They’re just regular people whose only sin was thinking that the federal government’s levees wouldn’t disintegrate…”
To help people understand this, to educate people on exactly this is indeed a goal of Levees.org. Yes, our only sin was believing we were safe from levee failure. In fact, the term “levee breach” was not even coined until after August 29, 2005. It was so new and unheard of that most people misspelled it.
But in New Orleans the reporters, journalists and columnists certainly get it. One day soon, all of America will.
