Lunch Break Video: Ellen DeGeneres and Brad Pitt take a tour of the 9th Ward in New Orleans

Brad Pitt fell in love with New Orleans in the early 90s and he has been doing a lot to help rebuild the 9th Ward which was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. On her recent trip to New Orleans, Ellen DeGeneres met up with  Pitt to tour the 9th Ward. Brad’s organization, “Make It Right,” has done incredible work to rebuild.

“I’m getting far too much credit for this,” Pitt says of the project, which has constructed 75 houses so far. “This took a lot of very smart people coming in and attacking the situation. It took the families determined to come back [after Hurricane Katrina] and their resilience and they’re defining what this thing was going to be. I get far too much credit for bringing some really smart people together.”

It is especially interesting near the end of the video when Pitt explains how he came up with the name “Make It Right.”
