Usher Helps Katrina Victims

Lisa Rogers, 06.20.2006, 09:17 AM

(EZ-Tracks) - Last week, Usher finally joined the ranks of celebrities who’ve made it their business to visit the Gulf Coast and pitch in. Already, Usher’s met with students from Xavier and Dillard University, two campuses that suffered much of the flooding. Usher had also been scheduled to meet with Governor Kathleen Blanco as well as business leader from the Baton Rouge area. Usher, a 5-time Grammy winner has shown another side of his sensitivity – while everyone already knows and loves him for his songs, now there’s a new reason: “Project Restart.” Usher organized Project Restart soon after Hurricane Katrina had devastated the Gulf Coast; its goal was to help families located within that area find housing. In addition to Usher’s organization, he’s also managed to lend a helping hand (literally) by helping clean up the lawn at the International School of Louisiana. Usher has also visited other neighborhoods that were devastated not only in New Orleans but in the surrounding areas.

It’s nice to see celebrities ACTUALLY helping out, as opposed to asking for hand outs – Usher’s a real man because he leads by example. Hopefully, more celebrities will follow Usher’s lead.
