of those things generally failed new orleans. fact that new orleanians, without thinking committing a political act had a search for the culture they couldn't live anywhere else. they came back for what they knew of as the city provided them as a cultural experience and the city came back one second of line and one saints game at a time and that is what has brought new orleans back. it's remarkable it has come back as it has in five years although there are many people who can't come home, but i will be equal opportunity about it. if it was the republicans and the mismanagement and agreed involving the emergency money in the immediate aftermath of the storm or a democratic administration and mismanagement of rode home, we would become a can't do country and we've proved it as new orleans. >> you picked jazz as the instrument so to speak. why? >> actually we take the cuisine as well and the indian culture, but all these things, music, food, dance and the interconnected people and performance. dailynew orleans is in the stres and a

was not affected but the 20 percent aided new orleans in it's recovery. people were able to come back sooner. they could live on land that was not inundated with water. regardless if the disaster hits you you still have the responsibility. much is given and much is required. that's a part of the resiliency you will not only see in yourself or the neighbors that live adjacent from you or in a neighboring community not far from you. get involved and do your part in your recovery and do your part today to make it all worth it. and strengthen your neighborhood associations now. know your neighbors now. and understand that we are not just homes we are people. so thank you for your time and thank you for having me. and i really appreciate being here with you today. thank you. [applause] >> the mayor is engrossed in the remarks that latoya shared with us. on behalf of the city and county of san francisco and the mayor wanted to present you with this. we want to thank you and we are honored to have you here today. >> thank you. this is -- they are telling me or y

and hurricane season for new orleans and louisiana come once a year. we know. june first-november one. we know that earthquake season is everyday. you never know. i don't want you to have blinders on to think this is not a part of reality right now. because it can happen. so, begin to organize today. this is just an example of a meeting flyer that we had in broadmoore post katrina, galvanizing our residents having festivals to get our people engaged and involved. some of the other things that you can do today is start developing repopulation strategies. in a disaster how will you find your people and determine what their needs and bear yers are? these are things you can have in place right now. but for broadmoore we had to do this in the aftermath. i can't stress to you enough to make sure that you incorporate your vision and your strategies. block captains aided us in our recovery. block captains are people living on blocks who stepped up to say, i will be the eyes and ears of my area. i will walk and see who's back and who's not and their intensions. our bloc

that's a very narrow range. >> narrator: but in post-katrina new orleans, nothing was clear.could stealing food, water or a tv now mean a death sentence? >> a shoot to kill order, to shoot looters, would violate the long-established standards on use of deadly force. >> narrator: orders to the nopd rank and file became even more uncertain when mayor nagin called for martial law. it was the day after the storm and he had just been told by his chief of police that a police officer had been shot in the head. this story, we now know, was true. >> our police, at that point, were completely focused on search and rescue. and here they were being shot at. and it made the mayor furious. and that's when he said, we need to declare martial law. >> the city they nicknamed the big easy, still a disaster zone, under martial law. >> tonight, in a rare move. practically unheard of in the united states-- martial law declared. >> would you request martial law? >> i've already called for martial law in the city of new orleans. >> narrator: in fact, martial law was never declared in new orleans.

so the play is examining the history of new orleans from that standpoint. and, as well, deals, as i said, with haiti, because there was such a haitian influence on new orleans at that time. after the revolution in haiti, the population of new orleans doubled because of the migration out of haiti by not only free people, but also rebellious slaves, as well. so a lot at play. a lot at work and a lot at play within the story that we try to flesh out. tavis: knowing you to the extent i do, i think i know the answer to this question, but i want to pose it anyway, which is how you go about selecting the kinds of roles on stage or on film that you want to play these days, and i sense that there's an appreciation you have, given your explanation now, for complexity of character. >> well, i like to be kept on my toes. i look for a challenge. i don't like to recreate steps that have walked. i like to see if i can create something new. that makes it exciting for me. in this case, i didn't so much choose this play as i was chosen by john guerre and george wolf, who are

preservation hall is a new orleans jazz institution. it celebrates the tradition of jazz and foster's its growth by inspiring the next generation of great jazz musicians. and we have an opportunity to make that a part of our community. preservation hall will no doubt be a good neighbor. we will work together to ensure that none of us -- residents, business owners, and preservation hall -- wants unhappy neighbors. we want them to come to the diversity and creativity already in the mission. it is a perfect fit for an already vibrant community. thank you. president miguel: thank you. >> i am danny shirr. i come in the spirit of bill gramm. i worked for bill grimm 25 years, my entire professional career. he would be here today to tell you the following. of all the shows i have booked, my favorite show, the one that was the most creative, was the grateful dead and the preservation hall jazz band. he loved that show. there is a poster of that show at the fillmore. they were the real deal. they never sold out. there were never overly commercia

we are in the heart of new orleans. it's a diverse community a microcosim of new orleans. home to 7,000 residents prekatrina and 66 percent of our homeowners have returned. we have 2400 properties in the neighborhood and we are leading the city in recovery. because of our organization being together predisaster it really had aided us in our recovery post. being one of the first neighborhoods to release a redevelopment plan for community in july of 2006. and we started planning in january of 2006. really about 7 months of real planning. but the message here is that we can start or you can really start your planning today. you don't have to wait. and that was one of the things that when daniel and ed visited broadmoore they said, we can really get our people involved now. because it's not a matter of, if, it's a matter of, when. we are all vulnerable. these are pictures of broadmoore. the homeses. we are a national historic district. we have 5 housing styles in broadmoore. it's a great place and we were not going to allow a group of, so called, constituents of broadmoore to

i love new orleans, actually. i have not been there, actually. i have been sort of reluctant to visit their ever since the disaster, you know, the katrina disaster. i have not been by. but i would go annually to visit preservation hall because it is an amazing place to visit, and of course it is the heart of jazz, new orleans is. it is really awesome that we are getting this brought here and in our own way of preserving a culture that has been really broken apart, i think, in many ways the past few years, although there is probably still a lot that is coming back, hopefully and is retained their. -- there. i spent a lot of time in the cemeteries and the whole culture of new orleans is brilliant. i just love it. i think it is a good use. i also support one of the new conditions references that you will be providing the venue to mission public high-school or charitable organizations for fund-raising. those are the to the we cannot endorse. -- the two that we cannot endorse. but i think it is great. i imagine this interchange with the community and

the choice is you can be one of the two people that were in new orleans. be the people that got out on time and didn't want to risk it. you can find a boat and chain saw and then you come back and help the others. you don't blame them. nothing. you just go back and help them. or get sign making material and put it in your attic so it's ready to go when you are standing on your roof waiting for helicopter to come by. the choice is you can be a part of the solution, part of the problem. i ain't going to stand on my roof with a help me sign. are you? in practical term what is is the solution? you have done part of it. you have to get control of the political system in washington. you went out and voted. tea parties make a huge difference. political solutions are available here. i want to talk about something different. people tell me, "glenn, i don't have a lot of money. i don't know what to do." let me give you a hint. the average home in america -- this is phenomenal. i can't believe this is true. the average home has $25,000 of stuff they don't need or don
