“The Big Tent” was buzzing Monday with a short session on racism and politics. The discussion was lead by James Rucker of ColorOfChange.org, a website devoted to issues concerning African-Americans. Although the event was titled “Left Behind: What Katrina and a Stolen Election Taught Us About Race and American Politics,” the panel of four activists touched on a variety of issues. Panel members included Scott-Myers Lipton of the Gulf Coast Civic Works Project, Jonah H.
