Joanne Nigg Quotations

Most of these people don't have jobs to go back to because New Orleans is gone. They're going to have to come up with a system to get money coming in so they can maintain themselves.

The federal government must come in and provide funding for food, clothing and medical care in each place they're going to.

You could call it a mini-diaspora. The people in New Orleans, the people along the Gulf really had a culture. In many ways, they have been thrown out of the Garden of Eden, if you will. It's a diaspora brought on for people with no resources.
