EYEWITNESS TO AMERICAN SHAME
A white couple, visitors who got caught
in
New Orleans, give a harrowing account
of what it was like. Let us learn from this. If the next major
natural disaster happens to be a California quake, the Asian
American community will take its hardest hit.
"At that point, we had not seen any of the TV coverage or looked at a
newspaper, but we guessed there were no video images of European and white
tourists, like us, looting the Walgreens in the French Quarter,'' the couple
wrote in an eight-page account of their experience:
"...what we witnessed were the real heroes and sheroes of the
hurricane relief effort: the working class of New Orleans. The
maintenance workers who used a fork lift to carry the sick and
disabled. The engineers, who rigged, nurtured and kept the
generators running. The electricians who improvised thick
extension cords stretching over blocks to share the little
electricity we had in order to free cars stuck on rooftop parking
lots. Nurses who took over for mechanical ventilators and spent
many hours on end manually forcing air into the lungs of
unconscious patients to keep them alive. Doormen who rescued folks
stuck in elevators. Refinery workers who broke into boat yards,
"stealing" boats to rescue their neighbors clinging to their roofs
in flood waters. Mechanics who helped hot-wire any car that could
be found to ferry people out of the City. And the food service
workers who scoured the commercial kitchens improvising communal
meals for hundreds of those stranded.
That's the good parts. Read it all and count your blessings that
you were not there. To also show another aspect, the next article
is a map showing how large an area was devastated by putting it
into perspective with a map overlay of the Northeast. |
