We will never forget. Hurricane Katrina. 08.29.05.

Wow, I’m glad you identified the subject Chandra. I’d never have known that was what it was. A very sad day indeed.

Thank you for reminding us: at times I feel like the loss of New Orleans as we knew it, and of the only Black majority city left in the US, not to mention the horrors of the SuperDome and the AstroDome for the survivors, has been forgotten, deliberately.

That’s a stunner. Too many people have forgotten the anniversary, but the people of New Orleans never will forget.
