Rebuilding New Orleans

What should be rebuilt? What should not? The amount of federal taxpayers needed to rebuild the entire city will be massive. And if a category 5 storm hits the city, some areas of New Orleans and their residents are sure to be devastated again. Larry Mantle talks with Amanda Paulson, a reporter with the Christian Science Monitor, Kwame Asante, President of the NAACP of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Adam Kushner, Assistant Managing Editor for The New Republic, Christina Ford, an environmental studies professor at Bowdoin College, and Peter Brink, Senior Vice President, National Trust for Historic Preservation about how much of the city should be rebuilt, how much should be left behind, and what criteria should be used in making these decisions.
