On this end of the Mississippi, Minnesota's Midmorning show is Exploring the lessons of Katrina:
On the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, a look at the impact of the disaster on the way race is perceived. Midmorning's guests say the response proves America is not as color blind as some might think.
Guests:
- David Dante Troutt: Editor of "After the Storm: Black Intellectuals Explore the Meaning of Hurricane Katrina." He is professor of law at Rutgers Law School.
- Cheryl Harris: Professor of law at UCLA, specializing in constitutional law, civil rights and employment discrimination, and a contributor to "After the Storm."
What are the lessons we learned about race and class from Katrina?
