Upon returned to the United States Oswald moves around quite frequently, eventually ending up in New Orleans. This is where the most mysterious and perplexing chapter of his life took place. In 1963, Oswald is employed at the Reily Coffee Company, where he is fired from only months later. He also starts a one-man chapter of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee and began pro-Castro propaganda in New Orleans. Oddly enough, the return address on Oswald’s pro-Castro leaflets was 544 Camp Street, New Orleans. This happened to be the same building where Guy Banister, a former FBI agent, was working to overthrow Castro. A close comrade to Banister was the familiar David Ferrie. Both Banister and Ferrie did investigative work for Carlos Marcello, the mafia chieftain in New Orleans and the prime target of the Kennedys’ war on organized crime. Was Oswald playing a kind of double game in New Orleans? His actions raise important questions about his true attitude toward Cuba and whose side he was really on. In September of 1963, Oswald was seen on a bus heading from Houston to Mexico City, where he tries to defect once more. He plans to fight for Castro and return to Russia. He attempts to obtain a visa to Cuba, and he was told that he could only enter Cuba under a temporary visa, and only in transit to the Soviet Union. Oswald is later informed by KBG officers that it would take several months to obtain a Soviet visa and that without one he would not be able to go to Cuba. When Oswald
On August 29, 2005, the third strongest and biggest hurricane ever recorded in American history hit the Gulf Coast at eight o’clock a.m. The interaction between a tropical depression and a tropical wave created a tropical storm later referred to as Hurricane Katrina (FAQS, 2013). Forming over the Bahamas, Hurricane Katrina gradually strengthened as it moved closer and closer to the Gulf of Mexico. Recorded on August 28th, 2005, Katrina jumped from a category three storm to a category five storm with maximum sustained winds up to 160 miles per hour. Although other hurricanes, such as Hurricane Rita and Hurricane Wilma, exceeded Katrina, this dominant storm was classified as the fourth most intense hurricane
Hurricane Katrina was one of the deadliest hurricanes ever to hit the United States. Hurricane Katrina started out as any other hurricane, as the result of warm moisture and air from the oceans surface that built into storm clouds and pushed around by strong forceful winds until it became a powerful storm. Hurricane Katrina formed over the Bahamas on August 23, 2005 and crossed southern Florida as a moderate Category 1 hurricane, causing some deaths and flooding there before strengthening rapidly in the Gulf of Mexico. The hurricane strengthened to a Category 5 hurricane over the warm Gulf water, but weakened before making its second landfall as a Category 3 hurricane on the morning of Monday, August 29 in southeast
Have you faced racial persecution due to the color of your skin? The time was 1900’s and this was the nightmare that Ida B. Wells-Barnett wrote of in Mob Rule in New Orleans. This is the true account of Robert Charles as he fights for his life to escape the hands of a lynching mob. This impassion story collaborates with the witness of this terrifying event that Wells describes. Wells uses her literary skills to shed light on racial discrimination, media bias, and her personal crusade for justice to portray this heart wrenching reality of the violent lynching during the 19th century.
Oswald himself also had what appears to be curious ties to Cuba and Fidel Castro. In the months just prior to the President's assassination, Oswald was arrested in New Orleans for disturbing the peace while he was handing out pro-Castro leaflets. While in jail he was interviewed by the FBI as his own request.

New Orleans has a rich history that can be marveled at, as well as be frowned upon. As a constituent of the greater Louisiana, New Orleans was at the heart of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Slaves were imported from West Africa, as well as India and then tasked with working in the robust cotton farms that characterized New Orleans at the time (Blassingame 5). Women slaves were mostly assigned to households where they worked as house helps, as well as babysitters. To this end, women developed close ties with most of their slave owners. In the image, New Orleans woman and the child she held in slavery, it is apparent that the girl worked for the woman and there was a lot of

Specifically, he pointed out their plan of action toward the hurricane they knew was coming. Many from New Orleans were angry that the government did little to help them from this dangerous storm.
The War of 1812 is probably our most obscure conflict. Although a great deal has been written about the war, the average American is only vaguely aware of why we fought or who the enemy was. Even those who know something about the contest are likely to remember only a few dramatic moments, such as the writing of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” the burning of the nation’s capital, or the Battle of New Orleans.
Hurricane Katrina struck the city of New Orleans, Louisiana on August 29th, 2005. The events that followed would leave the whole nation in shock until this day. One of the major topics of discussion after this disaster was whether or not the government's slow reaction time had anything to do with the fact that New Orleans is sixty-seven percent African American. As helicopters circled a wasteland that was once a major tourist attraction, the racism of the Deep South, thought to be extinct, proved it was only dormant. The same racism against African Americans that could be seen on Bourbon Street in the months prior to the hurricane reared its ugly head once more in Gretna, LA and was pointed out on live television by rapper Kanye West.
Hurricane Katrina hit the southern coast of the United States on August 28, 2005. The center of Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans on the morning of August 29, 2005.

If the levees are damaged massive water will flood Louisiana from the Gulf Coast, the Mississippi River, and other surrounding bodies of water. Some areas of New Orleans were 15 feet under water. Winds of Hurricane Katrina reached an astounding category 3 as
One of the most valuable tools to the United States army at the time was the U-2 spy plane. It was able to spy over Russia at such a high altitude that the Russians didn’t know how to attack it. While over in Russia Richard E. Snyder a CIA senior consular officer at the Moscow Embassy that he has “Special interest” to the Russians for his knowledge with radar and the U-2 spy plane. He also got Cuban mail and Russian newspapers in the mail so it seems like Oswald is pro-communist, but remember the quote from earlier “To catch a communist you have to play like
The benefits as explained above will be the lifeblood of New Orleans. These sectors include tourism, port operations, wages, and taxes.
