Post Katrina Killings – Demand Justice!

Color of Change is mounting a campaign to make sure justice is pursued in the cases documented by AC Thompson.

Sign the petition here. From Color of Change:

Call on state and federal officials to investigate

In the weeks following Hurricane Katrina, White vigilantes hunted down Black men who entered Algiers Point and even tried to expel their Black neighbors. Louisiana’s broken law enforcement agencies have refused to investigate these crimes.

Tell Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell, and the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the racist shootings, and to demand accountability from Louisiana’s dysfunctional criminal justice system.

Sign the petition here and tell everyone you know about this story and the effort to bring justice to New Orleans.

  • Hi, just found your blog. Nice design.

    They already know. Cynthia McKinney said a mother of man working in the Hurricane Katrina operations told her that his job was to inventory dead bodies, and he estimated 5,000 blacks, mostly young adult males, had been shot execution style in the head and dumped in a swamp. I wrote a post about this, come read it for the details and links to the story and youtube video of her saying this, and what I think may have happened.
