JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - The neglect of the nation's poor that has become so evident in New Orleans is happening in other major cities as well, the head of the United Way said Wednesday.
"This is a wake-up call for America," said Brian Gallagher, president and chief executive officer of United Way of America, which has taken a lead role in resettling tens of thousands of Hurricane Katrina survivors.
Gallagher and other leaders of charitable groups met with President Bush on Tuesday to plead for a long-term solution.
