New Orleans After The Flood: The Anatomy of African-American Displacement with Gary Rivlin, author Katrina After the Flood, journalist
Now, there is a commemorative marker at the site where a floodwall protecting the Lower Ninth Ward collapsed, unleashing a wall of water 10 years ago during Hurricane Katrina. The flood wiped out the African-American neighborhood and killed scores of its residents and now what has been left in its wake is little more than a commemorative marker at the site where the floodwall protecting this neighborhood collapsed. Ten years after Hurricane Katrina made landfall in southeast Louisiana Gary Rivlin retraces the storm s damage, the city of New Orleans s efforts to rebuild itself, and the storm s lasting affects not just on the city s geography and infrastructure "but on the psychic, racial, and social fabric of that city, highlighting the mass dislocation of the African American residents of the Lower Ninth Ward and why the neighborhood still hasn t been thrown a life preserver.
