About |
Some of the first images you saw of New Orleans under water during Hurricane Katrina were the mangled houses and cars, and drowned bodies of the people from the Lower 9th Ward. Before Hurricane Katrina, few had even heard of this close-knit, predominately African American community nestled less than five miles from world-famous Bourbon Street.
The author says, “I watched it all unfold on TV from my home near Dallas that morning. As the flood waters rose, my heart sank. This was my home, my neighborhood, my people. How could I not use my gifts to tell their story?”
