Jesse Jackson and Haiti's Ambassador to the U.S., Raymond Joseph, were among those on hand Wednesday as members of the Congressional Black Caucus held a meeting to discuss efforts necessary to rebuilding Haiti.
"This is a long-distance struggle, not a short impulsive reaction to the earthquake," said Jackson. "Beyond the issue of rescue and relief is the issue of reconstruction."
Ambassador Joseph said that the new Haiti should implement green technologies in its reconstruction.
"Haiti has to harness the Sun, has to harness the wind," he said.
