Photos of the REAL face of MLK Day...NOT the "Bush Cares" photo op.


Marchers walk past destroyed homes during a Martin Luther King Day parade in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans January 16, 2006. Scores of people gathered at the site of some of the worst flooding from Hurricane Katrina to honor the civil rights leader, and to bring attention to the needs of the city. If the city that gave the world Fats Domino, jazz funerals and the po-boy sandwich is to rebound from Hurricane Katrina, nurturing its quirky culture must be part of New Orleans' recovery, said a city plan to preserve cultural heritage released on Monday.

Darlene & Charles Jones listen to a memorial service honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as they sell cotton candy Monday, Jan. 16, 2006, in New Orleans. Charles and his wife, Darlene, lost their Ninth Ward home in Katrina's flooding. They have moved in with relatives in one of the areas that was spared. They live with three families in one, three-bedroom house, Darlene Jones said. 'It's depressing to see how slowly the city is coming back, but I believe it will,' she said. 'It's like trying to eat red beans and rice somewhere else. It just doesn't work.' (AP Photo/Ben Margot)



Splintered wood, water damaged furnishings, demolished personal possessions and moss and mildew encrusted houses lie across the street from St. Stanislaus College in Bay St. Louis, Miss., Thursday, Jan. 12, 2006. Although it has been over four months since Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast, areas remain to be cleaned up so recovery can begin. This damage sits adjacent to the the high school where Thursday President Bush touted the recovery efforts of the State and its residents. (AP Photo/Rogelio Solis)
