Alive In Truth
Beyond  news coverage, the stories of everyday people are what give a collective voice to a disaster. Alive in Truth, a product of the New Orleans Disaster Oral History and Memory Project, now brings us many of those harrowing tales. Led by New Orleans native and poet, Abe Louise Young, the group's volunteer listeners talk with displaced New Orleanians and record their stories of Hurricane Katrina and its impact on their lives. Joyce describes her escape through the rising waters, Rickey recalls the selfless cooperation of neighbors, Tami wonders how her children will be affected by being homeless, and "Larry" is pained by the memories of what he had to do to save his family. Put down the remote and pick up the mouse for a real glimpse into the eye of the hurricane. (in Oral History) |
