Summary
Recovering from a disaster that devastates a community as did Hurricane Katrina the city of New Orleans requires neighbors to come together in a way they may never have had to before. Dr. David is an expert on what it takes to draw a society together, not only to rebuild its physical structure, but to recreate a new way of living together to reestablish a true sense of home. He is also a good source to discuss the nature, qualities, and organization of social movements such as labor unions and protest movements.
