Well, one person refuses to let anyone forget. Director Spike Lee created a 4-part documentary for HBO, "When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts" that will premiere tonight at 9. (Actually, Acts I & II will be shown tonight, III and IV tomorrow night.) From what I hear it is quite good. It doesn't point fingers (not that it would be hard to do), but instead gives us the facts along with the views of those who lived through it, then allows us to form our own opinions.

I urge everyone to watch this documentary. And I've started this thread so that people can discuss anything regarding the subject. The bastards of the American government may have forgotten, but I know that we sure as hell haven't.
i haven't forgotten, in fact a year seems like along time ago, katrina feels like more like a month ago, never will be forgotten
