BATON ROUGE, Sept 2: Civil Rights leader Jesse Jackson on Friday fired off a fierce attack on President George Bush, and suggested black people were being locked out of top relief roles after Hurricane Katrina. Jackson said ‘120,000 people in New Orleans make less than 8,000 dollars a year. They are poor people, they are black people’. Many of them could not afford to leave their homes ahead of Hurricane Katrina and were therefore trapped in the disaster, he said.—AFP
