Emi Kawahara Place Matters An Analysis of the Deadly Results of Residential Segregation

Residential segregation in the U.S. has deprived Black people of options for where they can live. Today, although it is illegal to discriminate against people based on their race, residential segregation still exists. It is just changing its form. I argue that residential segregation results in a shorter life expectancy for low-income Black people because they are confined to live in areas that are environmentally dangerous. Argument

Comparison Hurricane Katrina (2005) Category 5 → 3 Damage = $108billion At least 1,833 death (1200 reported) New Orleans, Louisiana 60.2% Blacks 33% Whites Hurricane Andrew (1992) Category 5 → 4 Damage = $26.5billion 23 reported death Homestead, Florida 66.9% Whites 20.4% Blacks National Weather Service: National Hurricane Center

Problems Questions: -Are all natural disasters really natural? -How could we have minimized the damage? -What made the outcomes of the two hurricanes different?
