African American and white residents of New Orleans see the progress of recovery since Hurricane Katrina very differently, according to a new survey from the Manship School of Mass Communication’s Reilly Center for Media and Public Affairs at LSU.
Nearly 80 percent of the city’s white residents feel Louisiana has mostly recovered, but 59 percent of African Americans say it has not. Far more of the city’s white residents see progress in the local economy, public schools, flood protection and the quality of life in their community than do African American residents. CONT.
