Katrina Anniversary Special: Levees, Lies & Lives - Voices & Stories of the Black People of New Orleans During the Worst Hurricane in the History of the US
Weekly Program
Survivors of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans 2005
Hurricane Katrina and all that happened to the mainly Black people of New Orleans during and ever since that storm hit the city, was a defining moment for the US. Close to 100,000 people were left to try to survive in New Orleans. Thousands died. Those who survived the storm itself faced no clean water, no food, people stranded on rooftops or locked in prisons. Following the hurricane, Michael Slate traveled to New Orleans to bring back these voices and stories.
