Henry here. I watched some of the coverage of the year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina making landfall in New Orleans. People were saying that despite the passing of a year many people were still struggling with aftermath of the hurricane.
They listed a lot of ways that people were struggling physically: no decent shelter, no clean […]
Henry here. Mother Terror
