Our government's flawed response to Hurricane Katrina reflected a profound abandonment of the American values of opportunity -- equal treatment, economic security and mobility, a voice in decisions that affect us, shared responsibility for each other, and a chance to start over after misfortune or missteps. The recovery process has similarly failed to uphold those values, in ways that reflect larger problems of unequal opportunity in our country.
