The City Council voted unanimously to greenlight the demolition of the city's four largest public housing developments, saying they are too damaged by Hurricane Katrina to allow residents back into them.
But many in New Orleans, including former residents of the developments, say they fear the local and federal governments will not guarantee similarly affordable housing be built in their place -- calling the demolition an effort to move poor people out of the city.
Below see some clips of the violent protests. The city concil meetings are usually open to the public, but of course the "public" disagrees with the council, they close the doors.
This is a direct assault on black New Orleans and an attempt to "whiten" the community. There is no doubt our America is in crisis.
