"The earthquake in Haiti was a class-based catastrophe. It didn't much harm the wealthy elite up in the hills. They were shaken but not destroyed. The people who were living in the miserable urban slums - huge numbers of them- they were devastated. Maybe a couple hundred thousand were killed. They were living there because of US policies - consis-tent policies..."Noam Chomsky...Excerpted from Counterpunch, March 9, 2010The Riverside Church Mission and Social Justice Ministry sponsored the special event to raise funds for its Haiti Relief Effort.
