79. Didn't the PTB use the 1927 flood to force black people into NO?
I was just reading this the other day. It might be in the latest Rolling Stone. The (white) establishment in LA blew up the levees protecting the rural areas that were mostly black in the 1927 flood. This saved the white areas from flooding. The black survivors had to move to the city, as they had no homes. Who knows enough NOLA history to confirm or deny this?
