About this Quote

This quote by Marc Morial speaks with the power of Hurricane Katrina in exposing the poverty and inequality that exists in the United States. Before Katrina, lots of people had the ability to overlook the reality of hardship and inequality in the country, but the destruction caused by the cyclone made it difficult to ignore. The Millions More Movement, which was created to deal with the issues of poverty and inequality, has been given included significance due to the impact of Katrina. Morial is recommending that the typhoon has actually made it impossible to overlook the concerns of hardship and inequality, which the Millions More Movement is a method to attend to these problems. The quote is a tip that Katrina has actually had a lasting effect on the way we see hardship and inequality in the United States, and that the Millions More Movement is an essential way to address these issues.
