In Katrina's wake, promises were made to rebuild better than ever. Yet, to date, refugees remain scattered and rebuilding has hardly begun. How well are we fulfilling our commitment to a fair chance for everyone and what does it tell us about the sturdiness of America's ladder of opportunity? Join us as we talk to Katrina's refugees and examine the state of the poor in America today.
