Beverly Wright is founder and director of the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice at Dillard University in New Orleans. She is co-author of a report, sponsored by the Russell Sage Foundation and released in May 2006, which concluded that minorities and low-income residents have recovered more slowly after Katrina, in part because they have less insurance and less access to government relief. Listen to a May 2, 2006 National Public Radio “News and Notes” conversation with Ed Gordon regarding the report.
