Mayor Ray Nagin Biography

Mayor Ray Nagin grew up of modest means as his father worked as a janitor at City Hall. He was a very successful businessman before becoming mayor with no prior political experience. As the federally built hurricane protection system collapsed Mayor Nagin was thrust into the largest man-made and natural disaster in history. Without a comparable precedent he took up the ultimate challenge of steering New Orleans through near total destruction stabilization and recovery. He tells a very honest first-hand account of how all levels of government struggled with this disaster. He also witnessed true American spirit as volunteers came in to jumpstart the rebuilding process. Unfortunately he faced very raw issues of race and class and boldly rejected calls to gentrify the city.
