Hurricane Aftermath

"New Orleans After the Deluge" panels depict a horrifying picture of African Americans left in a hopeless, filthy situation for days after Hurricane Catrina.  His visual rhetoric and images put more emphasis on these distressed individuals lack of communication skills and the disparity between have and have not.

There is a pattern of profanity and frustration throughout  this piece.  People are upset because they believe they have been guided to the Convention Center to die.  They don't have the most basic necessity of life food and water, and there are no one in a hurry to provide these items.

The most unusual thing about this writing is the organizational skills of the so called thugs.  These individuals looted and orderly distributed the items they acquired to survive.  They provided the elderly, then the children, and next the women.
