Description:
This article considers the idea that "if those forced out of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina end up re-building their lives in new locations, it could be the largest U.S. black resettlement since the Great Migration of the 20th Century lured southern blacks to the North in search of jobs and better lives." Includes link to related news coverage about Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. From the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).
