Katrina 10, Betsy 50 (August 27, 2015)

Jeanne reviews where New Orleans and its communities stands in its recovery 10 years after the storm — and compares the city’s recovery from Hurricane Katrina to its recovery from Hurricane Betsy; with Kim Ford, Executive Director of the L9 Resilience Festival, and Ro Brown, former WDSU sports anchor and Sports Director at WBOK-AM. Then, Monique Moss, choreographer and artistic director at Third Eye Theatre, promotes “9th Ward Improv Opera,” an interdisciplinary performance work to commemorate Katrina 10. Finally, author and New Orleans local Morgan Molthrop promotes a planned art installation in Mid-City to commemorate the storm; and actor and former City Councilman Oliver Thomas calls in to join the panel.
