'Housing is not about buildings. It's about people's lives' ----Alfonse Jackson, director of H.U.D. Yet on Dec. 15, 2007, he is set to demolish the lives and former homes of thousands of New Orleanians. Most of the displaced will be African American. No surprise. Mayor C. Ray Nagin, who proclaimed New Orleans 'Choclate City' will see the largest out-migration of African Americans in the history of the United States, as he sits idly by and watches four major public housing units explode from dynamite blasts. Major protests are expected this week, as desperate citizens try a lst ditch effort to save their homes and former communities.... Hear the drums.....

YOU CAN HELP!!! Write to the New Orleans City Council and Mayor Ray Nagin and let them know that the world is watching them and how they treat the most vulnerable in their city. Tell them to oppose Calendar No. 26,928. Please keep all correspondence respectful! The law will be considered on May 1, 2008, and is called Calendar Number 26,928 (creating N.O. City Code sec. 54-419).
