Please join Amnesty International on Wednesday, March 26 from 1:30-3 p.m. in the Kotzen Room to hear Carol Anderson, a history professor at the University of Missouri, speak about When the Levees Broke: The Un-Civil Rights Movement in America.

Ms. Anderson’s talk will look at how Hurricane Katrina’s devastation was no accident, no mere blip of governmental incompetence, no confluence of the perfect storm and a sinking city. Instead, the human catastrophe in New Orleans was the result of decades of deliberate public policy decisions made and not made surprisingly enough, in the international realm.

If you have any questions, please email amnesty@simmons.edu
