Rebuilding Effort Fosters Racial Cooperation in New Orleans
In New Orleans a cross-faith coalition led by Sullivan Robinson backs the National Rebuilding Initiative to reconstruct burned black churches. The plan, aided by HUD and the National Council of Churches, has raised about 4.5 million with Protestant, Catholic, Jewish and Islamic groups joining.
