Dec. 2--(Syracuse) Social activist Jay Arena lectures on the fair and just rebuilding of New Orleans last night at Syracuse University's Law School. Arena, who attended Lemoyne College 20 yrs ago, illustrated the link between the U.S. Government's imperial aims and the poor readiness and response as it relates to Hurricane Katrina. Katrina was a natural disaster, he said, but it's devastation on New Orleans, and particularly it's poorer citizens, was a human tragedy and an example of ethnic/class-cleansing. Arena is a doctoral student at Tulane University.
