The Lion’s Den: How long must our levee be dry?

DANIEL MCCLOUD

Twenty years on from Hurricane Katrina, the betrayal of our most vulnerable continues today

“So, bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
And them good ol’ boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, “This’ll be the day that I die
This’ll be the day that I die”
— American Pie (Don McLean)
