Looks @ The Week of August
20, 2006
Breach
of Faith It
is the anger that cuts deepest -- a righteous,
laser-focused anger born of betrayal, laced with
sadness, a rumbling anger that pumps like blood
through the veins of Spike Lee's masterly Katrina
documentary, "When the Levees Broke: A Requiem
in Four Acts."
A
Mother Adopts, and Discovers Her Own Racism A
white mother who adopts a baby from India confronts
her shame that her child's skin is dark, and realizes
she needs more diverse friends.
Disabled
People Left Behind in Emergencies
Right now, there is no standardized federal preparedness
plan for disabled people, so when a Katrina-level
disaster strikes again, many will be left in the
cold.
Lessons
From Katrina, Part Two A
year later, FEMA is still under the tight bureaucratic
thumb of Homeland Security.
African
Grandmothers Rally for AIDS Orphans They
are the “AIDS grannies” of Africa:
women like Matilda Mwenda, 51, of Zambia, who has
lost two of her seven children to AIDS, leaving five
orphaned grandchildren in her care, along with two
nieces who were orphaned when her sister died of
AIDS.
