100 words on Michael Dyson's Come Hell or High Water
 Katrina's effects on citizens of New Orleans. Displacement and destruction of black culture. Kanye West's comments were not personal but about administration. Eye-opening. Overabundance of facts on mistakes made by FEMA and the government. Book brings better focus to tragedy than the news. Dyson examines the Asians, Latinos, and Native Americans also affected. Ends with an earnest discussion of the "God" factor and how those who use God as reason for Katrina are contributing to an already damaged culture. Hard to find fault in some research, but some passages driven by emotion. Colbert Report. A moving personal musing on loss.
