Fight to Reopen New Orleans Public Housing "Horrible Slow and Tragic"

Fight to Reopen New Orleans Public Housing "Horrible Slow and Tragic"

We speak with Tracie Washington, a lifelong New Orleans resident and civil rights attorney who has sued the city over its housing policies. "Somehow we’ve got to get to a critical mass of people where they are all telling the government that it’s wrong, so that the government will stop on its own," Washington said. "We just can’t keep suing every single day. They’ll wear us out." [includes rush transcript]
