New Orleans Mayor
Invokes God at Rally
Calls for end to
violence, infighting
(AP) -M ay o r Ray Nagin apologized Tuesday for a
M artin Luther King Day speech in which he predicted
that New O rleans would be a “chocolate” city once
more and asserted that “G od w as mad at A m erica.”
“ I said some things that were totally inappropriate.
... It shouldn’t have happened,” Nagin said, explaining
he was caught up in the m om ent as he spoke to mostly
black spectators, m any o f them fearful o f being shut
out o f the city ’s rebuilding.
During the speech M onday, Nagin, who is black,
said that the hurricanes that hit the nation in quick
succession were a sign o f G o d ’s anger tow ard the
U nited States and tow ard black com m unities, too, for
their violence and infighting. He also said, “ It’s time
for us to rebuild New O rleans — the one that should
be a chocolate N ew O rleans.”
“This city will be a majority African A merican
city,” he said M onday. “ It’s the way G od wants it to
be. You can ’t have New O rleans no other way. It
w ouldn’t be New O rleans.”
Nagin said his com m ents about God were inappro­
priate and stem m ed from a private conversation he
had with a m inister earlier. “I need to be more sensitive
and more aware o f what I’m saying,” he said.
The m ayor said his speech was really meant to
convey that blacks were a vital part o f New O rleans’
history and culture and should be encouraged to
return. “I want everyone to be w elcom e in New
O rleans — black, white, Asian, everybody,” he said.
Nagin said the other main point he had hoped to
make Monday was that when blacks do return, they
m ust work to stam p out the crim e and political
infighting that have held them back.
New O rleans was more than 65 percent black
before Hurricane Katrina. The storm displaced about
three-quarters o f the c ity ’s population. M ost o f the
estim ated 125,000 residents w ho have been able to
return are white.
