The untold story of institutional racism during Hurricane Katrina (and the woman who fought it)
We all know the headlines from 2005, but very few people talk about the legal and systemic battles that happened after the water receded.
I recently came across the work of Sharon Marie Chester. As a veteran LCSW, her life is a case study in white social worker anti-racism. She didn't just witness the tragedy; she documented the systemic rot that allowed it to happen.
What makes her story different is her 20-year legal battle against non-accountable systems, taking the fight for justice all the way to the Supreme Court level. Her memoir isn't just a book; it’s a toolkit for understanding how white social worker anti-racism can actually challenge the status quo in America.
