this is happening every day in dc and countless other cities like new orleans, new york and chicago, besides robbing us of our precious lives this disease has highlighted other socioeconomic disparities and education and basic access and still we have seen the news of black americans killed by the brewing hatred of white nationalism and racism. recognizing and realizing this reality we must center racial equity in the post covid-19 recovery and assure that it is part of the renewal project. however to gear toward reopening america and the world to emphasize these issues. at brookings our metropolitan policy program has taken this lead as a charge looking to ensure that at every level, local, state, federal there's more equitable recovery and take consideration from andre perry that includes a deep dedication to fixing the underlying policies to an equitable recovery not just debating around the issue. that is what making a difference is all about and that is what this book is all about. ladies and gentlemen, let me take a moment to introduce the author, andre perry. a fellow installe

from mobile and started in new orleans. this is a very diverse part, that guy looks like louis armstrong, but he represents the bands playing the parade. and there's the african american king and queen statues as well. but that's how we say we are the birthplace of mardi gras, because we were founded 16 years before new orleans. then, i am a little footnote to say that we are glad that people think new orleans is the place to go so we can have fun and all those crazy people can go to new orleans. this is our central business district area. when i was growing up, we had no mall. this is where you get everything from a sock to a hat, not has changed. it's all restaurants, clubs, entertainment, legal offices, hotel's, and the nature of the business changed. we'll talk about that briefly, and how that changed in the late eighties. >> okay. so this is the site of the slave market, where illegally kidnap individuals were auctioned off in the 16, 17, and 1800. keep in mind that we are two blocks away from the water. none of these

our rob marciano right there in new orleans this morning.ob, what's the latest? >> reporter: well, dan, it's a moderate tropical storm right now. it's accelerating in this direction. just yesterday when it got back over the water the air force went back up, the hurricane hunters fired up their planes, they got in the air delivering us valuable information. there's information on the ground and in the air as well. so what we think is going to happen is continued strengthening with this, likely staying below hurricane strength. not that well structured but it's going to have a ton of rainfall, not just florida or the gulf coast but look how it goes all the way up really in the mississippi valley. pretty fast moving system. here we'll see a foot of rain. these pumps can't handle it. new orleans is below sea level so that will be an issue sunday, monday. there's some of that rain. storm surge an issue. whenever a storm gets in this part of the gulf of mexico under the water and bathymetry and the angles of the coastline, you get amplified storm

in new orleans it feels like a lot of rain.ne thing to keep an eye on is the storm surge as the waters rise as the eye of the storm really approaches mainland and makes its way here. the governor did tweet this morning, announcing -- asking people to stay weather aware today as tropical storm cristobal is expected to make landfall in louisiana later this evening, monitor local media outlets and update them throughout the day and the president did issue an emergency declaration for louisiana. there were no businesses completely boarded up just because of this but we did find a lot of them who were using sandbags ahead of the storm. people are using this to protect their homes and, again, this isn't just because of the storm, because of covid-19 and some of these protests and possible looting, a lot of these business do that preemptively. people i talked with say they know that they can't trust mother nature, especially when it comes to flooding in this area. >> if we can prevent it from coming in off the streets then we're ahead

a manageable tropical storm for the city of new orleans. a city that is so susceptible to flooding. of course this one has been different because it is against the backdrop of several national emergencies taking place across the country, namely the covid-19 pandemic. we'll call this a trial run for what meteorologists believe and are predicting to be an above average and extremely active atlantic hurricane season. there are still threats going forward for the greater new orleans metropolitan area and across southeastern louisiana and the coastal areas of mississippi, alabama and into the panhandle of florida, namely storm surge threat potential overnight and the potential for flash flooding as well. in the city of new orleans, the sewage and drainage system here is well over 100 years old and can quickly be taken over by extremely heavy rain. i'm cnn meteorologist derek van dam from new orleans. >>> and we are joined now by cnn meteorologist karen maginnis to bring us the very latest. what are you seeing, karen? >> yes. well, even though it

this is still a new orleans thing, a louisiana thing. it's still a thing down south, specifically in the louisiana, new orleans. i really enjoy it, but it's a super acquired taste. but funny story, allison will kill me for telling this, but my girlfriend's grandmother did, back in the 1930's, she lived for a brief time in new orleans and for years and years afterwards, she hated new orleans. she lived there for like a year. but she hated, hated chicory and in coffee. and up to -- unfortunately, she passed away a little ways back -- but up until her dying day, she said anytime new orleans came up, can you believe they put chicory in their coffee? terrible, terrible. but i actually quite enjoyed it. kyle: i would be willing to try it. i'm not willing to say i would love it because i've never had it, but i would be willing to try it. it sounds interesting. jake: it is an interesting concept, and something that is interestingly connected to the civil war -- and you talked about relevance to the civil war. but if you look at how taste evolves

you had these monuments and statues removed in new orleans, that was not a easy task.ou got a lot of push-back for that. >> it was not. it was dangerous. there were a lot of threats. but we had a lot of support from the people of new orleans, they did not feel it reflected how we fit in the landscape. you have to take the persons person by person, but you can lump all the folks that fought on behalf of the confederacy. they fought to destroy the country for the purpose of preserving the institute of slavery. that is not a debatable group. when you start talking about jackson, and washington and jefferson. you take them all individually. it's a complicated history and then on top of that, by taking a monument down, you are not changing history. you are just changing how you choose to remember it and or revere it and you are giving people another opportunity to add context and texture and complexity to how we adorn our cities and our public spaces and how we choose to remember our history in its totality. because these monuments did not have a lot of permission to put th

you know, how helpful is testing just across the board, not just in new orleans?h, testing is critical. and being able to do more than we are doing now, although louisiana as a whole and new orleans in particular have been very aggressive about getting testing into communities. i think that's also very important, to bring the testing options and opportunities into areas of the city or a community that might have the ability to visit a health care center with any ease. but knowing who is infected so that they can isolate themselves, first of all, so they are not continuing to spread the virus and then using those individuals who have been identified as infected as a point of contact to identify persons that they may have already been infected, come in contact with an infected, is what contact tracing combined with testing is so critical to try and break the chains of transmission that we know this virus is able to establish. arthel: and finally, doctor, you know, absent precautions, no city is out of the woods. i want to know your major concerns not just about new
