For the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Habitat for Humanity has enlisted Quincy Jones and Usher to “[implore] Americans not to forget the victims of the storm.”

Quincy Jones will also be commandeering calls to action on his video podcast series, distributed by Wizzard Media, which also put together this teaser.

Lest we forget, much of Katrina’s problem was racial, and that is just one (more) reason why lots of people still need your money.

We hate to be callous (or do we?), but it’s always been our view that an administration doesn’t have to be racist to be careless and negligent.
