Vital Areas
of Interest: Like most
Americans AAFRR is keenly
interested in the recovery of
the Gulf Coast. Hurricane
Katrina has displaced millions
of African Americans and the
devastation that followed
exist months later as if the
storm occurred today. The
federal, state and local
governments have yet to
formulate an acceptable plan
that will not negatively
impact local residents and
more specifically African
Americans. The members of the
AAFRR strongly believes that
it must help provide the
necessary leadership to ensure
that the residents of the
region who are African
American can resume their
lives with a minimum amount of
economic hardship.
