Eugene-Richard says: "you have to go out and command justice. Somebody has to ask God for the inner strength to be bold." "Margie believes in the community leading the way," says Dr. Beverly Wright, director of the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice. But as Richard recognizes, community is an elusive thing in post-Katrina New Orleans. "I won't be knocking on doors," she says, "because there are no doors." (en)

Mas, como Richard reconhece, a comunidade é algo evasivo na Nova Orleans pós-Katrina. "Não vou bater nas portas", diz ela, "porque não há portas." (pt)
