Five Years Later, Much Still To Be Done -- And Remembered -- After Katrina

Five years since Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and the surrounding region.
Five years since I was unexpectedly impacted by a place I had never been.
Five years since an emergency was turned into a catastrophe by the ignoring and the ignorant.
Five years since the New Orleans that was sunk and was lost forever.
Five years since Gulf Coast residents taught us a lifetime's worth of lessons in resilience.

Five years.

Never forget.
