The Katrina on the Ground coalition recognizes the responsibility to be "our brothers' keepers" and to facilitate and aid in their recovery process from what was, and still remains, a traumatic catastrophe. Having identified this unprecedented opportunity to target, harness and capitalize on the collective intellect, initiative and manpower of African American students en masse, this concerted effort is intended to generate national support and impart widespread improvement at several levels in the lives of the thousands of still-reeling victims. At a deeper level, this project will regenerate community worth and responsibility among a generation that has been bombarded with desensitizing and disengaging exposure. Accordingly, Katrina on the Ground and Katrina on the Ground Part II has made strides that will dually benefit our current society and our future way of life.
