THIS IS REPOSTED IN HONOR OF THOSE PLAYING, SINGING, VISITTING, HELPING, RETURNING, CELEBRATING, MOVING, WORKING AND DANCING INTO THE FUTURE this jazz season. I am also seeking support (video production equipment, camera, funding) for continuing this work. Anyone who would like to participate in the continuation of this phunk, please contact: mblack@notvcollective.org. LOL
New Orleans ~ Post-Katrina Populist Funk
Disastrous Hurricanes, maritial law & curfews, housing crisis, toxic earth, closed schools and hospitals, abandoned elders, centuries of festering racism, a neo-police state... while the "New" New Orleans struggles to survive and exist outside of the the American illusion of democracy, the most dynamic grass roots efforts in the country claim the streets, deliver food, celebrate, build homes and tell the truth in this visual collage set to the song "People Say" by the legendary Nola band, the funky Meters.
This is no Red Cross special:
Fight For Your Rights & Please Support Self-Determaination and Equality for the Gulf South and all Peoples.

So can anyone yet tell us, Who Owns the Barge? And what of the insurance bait-and-switch? I'm sorry, you have hurricane insurance? Well you need flood insurance if you're going to have a barge land on your house. So sorry we can't help you. We hope you enjoy your cot in Utah.
Sooner or later someone's going to make a film about this. I just hope it isn't Michael Moore.
