BILL MOYERS JOURNAL looks at Mississippi families who are still in need of housing, two-years after Katrina, and examines what’s happened to the money Congress sent to rebuild.
Two years after Katrina, casinos, hotels and condos are coming back
strong in the hardest hit areas of Mississippi, but tens of
thousands of people are still displaced - in limbo with no solution
in sight. BILL MOYERS JOURNAL profiles a group known as The Steps
Coalition, which is fighting on behalf of families who are still in
need of housing, and examines what's happened to the money Congress
sent to rebuild. The Steps Coalition argues that Governor Haley
Barbour's recovery plan has made it difficult for the states'
poorest families to rebuild.
Also on the program, a different take on immigration from author
Manuel A. Vasquez. "This whole concept of illegality ... is really
problematic. Because it really doesn't go to the complexities of
the situation," he says.
