Within the Gulf Region are some of the most beautiful and historic places in America. As all of us saw on television, theres also some deep, persistent poverty in this region as well. That poverty has roots in a history of racial discrimination, which cut off generations from the opportunity of America. We have a duty to confront this poverty with bold action. So let us restore all that we have cherished from yesterday, and let us rise above the legacy of inequality. When the streets are rebuilt, there should be many new businesses, including minority-owned businesses, along those streets. When they houses are rebuilt, more families should own, not rent, those houses. ~George W. Bush, speaking in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, 15 Sep 2005
