Utah Hosts Guests From Katrina

Its good to know that even though times aren't very good right now in the U.S., as Utahns we are being true to what we believe and helping wherever we can. Communities throughout Utah are taking families into their towns, finding them places to live, jobs to support their families, and being the friends that they need. Not only will this enrich our lives, but it will also enrich our economy. By having these new comers in our community we will be allowing our kids to see some of what is on the other side of Utah borders, and bring in some cultural diversity that we have been in need of. In New Orleans 67 percent are black, while only 1.9 percent of Salt Lake's population is, according to the Utah Census Bureau, and Angie Welling of the Deseret Morning News. By having people come and stay here, and having them see that Utah is not so bad, might help prompt them to stay here and start a new life, while bringing in needed revenue. I think that Katrina will help bring Americans together just like 911. http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,605153807,00.html
