Close to two years after the terrible Hurricane
Katrina, which ravaged New Orleans and Louisiana,
hundreds of thousands of families, mostly Black, are
still dispersed throughout the four corners of the
United States and prohibited from return to their
homes.

Of the US$850 million dollars in international aid to
the United States after Hurricane Katrina in 2005,
only $40 million have been used. The distribution of
supplies, medications, and services offered were
delayed -- if not rejected -- by the federal
government.

At the end of August 2007, an independent
international tribunal will take place in New Orleans
to judge those responsible in the federal and state
governments in the United States. The St. Louis
program will help raise awareness of the tribunal.
