What about New Orleans?

August 29th marked the fifth year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Five years later as The Louisiana Weekly notes "Women of color remained, returned, or moved to New Orleans in low numbers relative to white women in the five years since Hurricane Katrina and the flooding of the city" The women they speak of are also hindered by race and gender in terms of employment, lack of public housing and higher rates of exposure to violence.
