Marissa Davis Quotations

The people still think that the government isn't acting in the best interest of the people. They don't think that the government is looking out for them.

Had the people most affected by this been rich and white, I think the outcome would have been much different. Aid was given almost immediately to the victims of the tsunami and a significant amount of money, might I add. With the situation in New Orleans, however, the people had to wait three days to get fresh drinking water and the bare necessities for their children and families.

We would just gut the house, and then bleach it. Gut and bleach. Gut and bleach.

The conversation of race is something that is not only relevant to the situation in New Orleans but our everyday life.

The experience wasn't just about volunteering and being amidst devastation and sadness and depression. You were really able to become a part of these people's lives.

When I went to the meeting, I saw white people, black people, people who weren't well-to-do and the wealthy. And they were all voicing their opinions.
