A sneak peek at my latest publication . . .

Katrina, Fay, Gustav, Hanna, Ike . . . They are the names of five terrorists that have no prejudice, no bias, and no capacity to discriminate.  Yet, each has wreaked havoc on several countries, including the United States, Haiti, Jamaica, and Cuba.  Infrastructure collapses, homes are destroyed, people are killed and more die from injury, starvation and disease.  If hurricanes cannot choose their victims, than why do we see a disturbing pattern in the individuals that are affected?  Hurricanes, by nature, occur along coastal lines.  The demographics of the lower Mississippi and the Caribbean Isles are comprised of mostly poor blacks.  This observation is more telling than anyone would like to admit.  Although the New Orleans tragedy rocked the nation and brought to light the failure of our government to adequately care for its people, the situation in Haiti following the impact of four massive storms is deplorable.

Link to the final publication soon to come!
