is a city there is always strong america what is possible when we have the imagination to see. the train. battered. obvious but also exposed silent storms that have ravaged the city and our country. the stores. and joblessness equality and justice. act. akermanis why. it is

time for us to make sure the reconstruction is making. people's lives. together we do we're the rebuild the city we can prove the money for.

katrina could not nag this down. it took a man to come here with a board dollars in magadan. i was born in one nine hundred fifty nine. ok my mother was accurate number. i was

one years old so i can see all my life that i come from this area has seen the changes. beauty me real beauty. you might not see it but i can see the building. i can elicit here only. now we've got buildings right here and people would sit out. there we would hang out on the porch is here you got a bam status right here going to see it so you see the owner of ports it is a number three does you know hit me a. kick in the breeze. make him play until you know a watch in a sports game some girls play ball is that as. we sit here. we

planning. this is home this will always be home. i'm just told that me because i know when the. republican congressman from louisiana said about katrina god did in one weekend what we've been trying to do for twenty years in terms of public housing so god was able to close public housing in one weekend while there are many people who have been trying to do that for decades and that's sort of a theme in the response to katrina is privatization public housing was privatized

private developers were given the land private developers came in and demolished the good units that were there and private developers put up other apartment complexes on those spots which look. nice and are beautiful to look at but. of the thousands of families that lived in public housing before katrina hit the numbers look like roughly ten percent have been able to get back into their neighborhoods where they were before so the government destroyed people's housing turn it over to private developers gave them billions of dollars of subsidies and contracts to be able to do it and then kick the people out who had been there and those individuals those families who lived in public housing who were nearly one hundred percent african-american were not welcome back it was very clear that the official response on the federal level the state level the local level was you all really should go

someplace else we don't really want. this one would be you might see there. because it is a wonder. you said is that it was. you know what happened to those. we were never. we know it's only out to get we have to use. the people that i mean gays and believe in. that we helped you know when we. come together find ways to support each other in these difficult times so we're not going to wait we're going to find

a way to live in this is and do for each other and help too.

we had like the old liberalism on steroids. and that is part i think of the disaster capitalism it's also part of a conscious decision by local government state government federal government because it wasn't just let the market decide it was let the market decide plus we will give all this public money to accelerate what the market wants to do and these longstanding patterns of racial discrimination economic security those are still there and they have helped mold the response to katrina and they've helped side who the winners and who are the losers.

no really new orleans chose me so the ones threw me out because we wanted to be a part of the rebuild about the renaissance of this town so i moved in two thousand age the expectation that i had was to join another start a company that was going to be able to walk into a new situation and do what i do well which is help companies grow. there were no situations like that so people always ask what's the big idea you have for starting a company the big idea was i had to if i was going to do what i do i was going

after create the environment for that from scratch so loose it is only six years old but we've been growing very very quickly. we want to become the largest market research platform on the planet and we're trying to grow as quickly as we possibly can. there are a lot of tax credits in this state of louisiana has gone out of its way to establish what we were calling just the digital media tax credit what that means historically thirty five percent of every dollar spent on development technology development engineering and you think technical software development wise could be. would be given back to you by the state so essentially. develop it only cost sixty five percent on every dollar which is a huge benefit to

a group company. rules were going to very similar experience on a much larger scale in new york new york now is seen as a entrepreneurship startup technical center. but twenty years ago it wasn't and my goal was to have similar outcomes for new orleans as for your suddenly new orleans in twenty years will be seen as the epicenter of entrepreneurship in the south. we're trying to be towards the next version of itself. in europe and the capacity to integrate. the refugees at the same time we cannot accept everybody that comes to all come from countries it's true i mean all countries have the control of their borders looks all countries so

beautiful so as the rights to control its borders. what politicians do something to them. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be rich. have to go right to be prosperous like them before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. question.

but this is the same as does this is the same all in the law as has come back over the same as have one super bowl oh no one has got the money and all of the fine right. you know who i am at this point we are going to win. as i see this being a whole new war use because that's where these. are all. huge challenges in oil and in terms of ensuring that people that lived

here before katrina were able to return to the city when it comes to homeowners their own home program which was the government's response to help homeowners was having discriminatory effects on people that were applying for grants. your grant was based on the priest or value of your house and so because of historic policies . that were in place in new orleans and many other places around the united states homes in african-american neighborhoods here were worth less than in white neighborhoods here and what that meant in concrete terms is that we would have clients with a home in an african-american neighborhood that would be receiving. sometimes as low as fifteen hundred dollars to rebuild their house and then you would have a family in a white neighborhood that experienced a similar level of damage that we get the fall grants from our at cap which was one hundred fifty thousand dollars.

when the. so you see it didn't change your neighbors real good is futile but it is you know. frankly everybody through through. so it's. anybody in the property. he was able to fix the house right on the fun in that funny house he wasn't able to pay tanks it wasn't able to sustain that he had people from other states came in and bought up the property. predominate it is not. people who've been here for years is new people people from other states also to be what has given a job and they can't afford to come back because. they have they had to which. they have to how to. build the houses right away i mean.

to help. trying to get to trying to get it to get. to our road home plea that you know because they appear to be. giving you the money to give you your money. back from my. bathroom in a bank and don't. remember any better came in trying to figure out why. the fee. to make sure i knew you were young. and. damn got back with me so evidently they had been about four months ago still we. still. gave you enough to redo it. on the whole we overpay you. had a problem with one of the contractors to raise my house. twenty six thousand.

so i got stuck with that. and changed. when you know i had. like i don't want to be here. in this league allow come. in. just at the same. pace as they are to lose the after the hurricanes of i.e. is like a leg is like a. maniac and staying up all the solo album in. it is that he'll. give.

them the have. much our. cheney stream and. blow all of our. running us down from my. land then we are. dancing. in the. car. are. our. land. they are. parasites are from iran they are. our

land saw them on the sand. rather charlie anonymize many. of them rather than ours. say. why eat.

when katrina hit the president bush. and his allies along with some foundations across the country and people in louisiana said this is a great opportunity for us to try an experiment and charter rise the whole public school system sensually have a public school it's a given to a private company and the private company gets the public money to run it but the private company decides who's going to be the teachers what are they going to have bus service what the curriculum is going to be and all that so how that happened was within two weeks the louisiana legislature at the request of the governor and with the support of the president had a special law passed just applied to the city of new orleans and it was a takeover a literally a legal takeover of the. thousand

five when act thirty five was winding its way through the legislature many of us were still living in other places i was living in texas trying to rebuild my life. then i was coming back. and fourth once i was allowed back in new orleans trying to get contractors and electricians and plumbers to help me put my house back together i knew many of the people were not in any kind of position so will fight the takeover of our school. within the first month they decided that they were going to dissolve the union which is the biggest union in the state of louisiana. over eight thousand people lost jobs in the school system union jobs really good jobs in the new orleans area

the teachers fought in court they lost there were the louisiana supreme court said no you're not entitled to your job parents and you're looking for an excellent school for your side tech academy is back in session our schools have some of the highest growth scores on the leap in the city of new york saya tech academy is a perfect fit for scoring high in academics and winning championships and tackle football and volleyball and working hard every day to get into the city's best high schools and colleges we provide a laptop for every child side tech academy is located a charter schools or businesses let's just be clear about that and what does a business do a business wants to maximize its profits and reduce its costs that means high cost students who need more resources to learn more of a lot bill only for those schools so it cost less to educate a higher performing student than it is to educate a student who has

a lot of meaning and they get to have autonomy to discriminate and we see that in the data. we begin to see a lot of the titles change there were many people who had had no experience or. running schools they may have been businesspeople who will now become c.e.o. as they try their hand at operating a school. so i started working at ash at the end of my six months i knew i wasn't going to return. i knew it wasn't a place where i would become the kind of teacher that i want to be.

yeah yeah. so these three are the first grade class or close to the end of the hallway and i was right in the middle. easterners everywhere the walls were covered. motivational thinks test. students achievement on the test was a big focus the more students who tested well makes the school look successful. school is successful then they can apply for a different grants and government funding schools with very low scores considered failing schools sometimes can be shut down or taken over by the state from my experience the understanding kind of comes down to a money issue. test scores were displayed everywhere and

classrooms and outside on the walls we had daily meetings and scores were brought up we would be shown. graphs and data from the different schools and discuss like what we need to do to to raise their scores. and for the students there was one particular test that they were taking in first grade they were shown their previous court and then on the other side they were shown their goal like what we wanted them to get to to show that they were improving getting closer to on level. and said like this is where you are now this is where you need to be and. we were. bribed with stickers and candy and parties if you do well since he like on the reading

tests if they stepped up to the next reading level they would be brought pizza and cake to have in the classroom with all the over students there watching these kids getting rewarded there's not. armstrong call evil and. we're going to be your hopes for the tree thousand confederations cup in russia we're going to be visiting the host cities are. going to be great i'm told to. do something pretty much to bring every topic the fans need to know about the head of the match so don't forget to join us it's going to be full of living know. who she is old enough to post he she should go. oh.
