N.O. East
Two months after Hurricane Katrina destroyed their homes and communities in 2005, residents of New Orleans East are willing to rebuild their neighborhood with the support of city and federal agencies. But there is no water or electricity in New Orleans East and politicians promoting the rebuilding of the city forget to include this poor neighborhood in their grand plans. In this call for help, Black and Vietnamese residents voice their concerns while they also try to return back home with the help of grassroots community organizations. Part of the Katrina Chronicles video series curated by Michelle Materre.
