UNTOLD: The New Orleans 9th Ward You Never Knew
Some of the first images you saw of New Orleans under water during Hurricane Katrina were the mangled houses and cars, and drowned bodies of the people from the Lower 9th Ward. Before Hurricane Katrina, few had even heard of this close-knit, predominately African American community nestled less than five miles from world-famous Bourbon Street.
New Orleans native Lynette Norris Wilkinson gives a glimpse into the lives of 16 Hurricane Katrina survivors from the Lower 9th Ward where she grew up. UNTOLD: The New Orleans 9th Ward You Never Knew.
