Come Hell or High Water: Hurricane Katrina and the Color of Disaster
Michael Eric Dyson

In "Come Hell or High Water" author Michael Eric Dyson criticizes the U.S. Government's response to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. The author argues that the Bush administration and FEMA's failure to provide aid in a timely manner is another reminder of the deep class and racial divide in America. He analyzed the problems displaced survivors of Hurricane Katrina are facing today, and debated if the storm was caused by God. This event was hosted by Eso Won, an African American bookstore in Los Angeles, California.
