New Orleans, LA - Gulfport/Biloxi, MS
Today, we visited CR sites in New Orleans and headed to the Gulf Coast to see rebuilding efforts in those areas nearly two years after Katrina. We also saw the beach at Biloxi which was the site of violence in response to "beach-ins" to demand integrated beaches in the early 1960s. We ended the day with a discussion on CR in New Orleans (including Juliette's article!) and activism in Selma around voting rights in preparation for our visit there tomorrow.
