Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton [1] will be in New Orleans Saturday as part of Tavis Smiley's State of the Black Union symposium on education, health, housing and other issues affecting African-Americans.

The State of the Black Union 2008 [2] (SOBU) is held today, Saturday, Feb. 23rd, in New Orleans. SOBU is gathering volunteers [3]to work on six projects in the area, Build a Home, Beautify a City Park, Build a Playground, Demolish a Home, Beautify a School Yard & Donate Books, and Build Shelves for Public Library and Donate Books.

Good for her! Not enough is being said or done to help the Gulf Coast recovery. She needs to keep this issue in front of voters. Good for SOBU for doing good work in New Orleans.
