Finding Faith in Our Darkest Hour: A New Orleans Update (from Project South)
Finding Faith in Our Darkest Hour: A New Orleans Update
The following article is from Project South friend and member Xochitl Bervera.
Families and Friends of Louisiana's Incarcerated Children (www.fflic.org)
Friends from around the country ask us: 'How are things in New Orleans? Are things getting better?' I always have to pause, surprised that people havent heard. I forget that the national media has abandoned us, that George Bush flew into town for five minutes to make promises of federal support which gave the rest of the country and the world permission to look away. I am stunned that people dont know how much worse it is in New Orleans today for our organization, for our members, for our community than it was even six months ago . . . .
