they really saved new orleans. new orleans tried to give back, we tried to do a dunkirk. we heard on the radio people were trapped in the superdome and convention center and people of goodwill of all ages, raises, social and economic background got in their cars and tried to go in the city and pick people up. we were stopped from entering the city. i remember that night, the only time we could get self-service in the middle of the night, friends were calling to check on me and i said you don't know what is happening down here, people are stranded, we have always known if the levees break, the city will be destroyed. in california where i live, the big one had come, the big earthquake. you have to send help, let everyone know. is on tv. i said it can't be on tv. it is on tv. that is the memory i have of katrina. the poetic truth is people of goodwill from around the world saved us and really reached out, the city, memphis, atlanta, that is the prophetic truth, we found the better angels with in ourselves. >> you talk a little bit about the term awakening. this is my awaken

i went to new orleans's 9th ward to find out . at the time of katina, its population was approximately 15 thousand, 96 percent were african american. there are no exact numbers on how many 9th ward residents died during katrina, but the death toll was the highest there. today, about 5600 people live in the 9th ward. i met with two residents there to find out whether they feel safer than they did 10 years ago? >> do i feel 100 percent safe? no but i feel safer than i did 10 years ago. >> arthur johnson, runs the sustain the nine coalition. right in the heart of one of the hardest hit blocks. >> i also feel that there is a greater awareness of what safety means. >> and that piece-educating residents on how to stay safe from storms -is why sustain the nine coalition was formed right after katrina. >> so how did katrina change people here's attitude? >> i've seen changes in how people look at things. what they find important what they find not important. i've seen them become more advocates for the environment, for what's going on aro

in new orleans, if someone with power doesn't act, nothing happens. no offense to new orleans. i lived there ten years, got your back. if someone didn't act, there would still be butchers putting entrails in the pipes. >> tim is on. go ahead. >> caller: yeah. my question is, didn't the north have enough -- didn't they have enough butchers or what was the reason for the butchers from the north to go down to arkansas -- or louisiana? >> money to be made, yes? >> these were not -- not everyone involved with the crescent city slaughterhouse was a northerner. some were. did you want to -- >> no. >> what they were, the folks in the north were, were investors, people with capital. there wasn't any capital in the south after the civil war. the banks were destroyed. the economy was in ruins. in order to get anything built, you needed to bring in northern capital. for the railroads, they bring in a capitalist from delaware who promises to reconstruct the railroads. you needed outside money. the ex-confederates, of course, will portray this, and this will get lodged in the american memory

in new orleans, at that time? paul: at the time, you do have a dynamic where the slaughterhouse is at this point are in new orleans proper and there are a number of butchers who -- a number of them are from a certain place, and they have this tradition of being involved in this trade. it is part of their identity. again, what i think sets the stage for this is the idea that you have these slaughterhouses very near the large population centers in new orleans. i think anybody who has read "the jungle" knows that , slaughterhouse is even 60 years later were no picnic. ,the time that we're talking about here, the 1870's, these are incredible source of pestilence, and a part of the reason that new orleans has a reputation, not only as a place that perhaps reconstruction can really succeed, but also a reputation where you don't want to be there in the summer, because you might leave in a pine box. michael: a metropolis of america some people called it. court when they get to when they file suit, -- i would , like to hav
