Each and every year since Hurricane Katrina, we have marked the anniversary by organizing a community led commemoration. On August 29h, we will start the morning in the Lower 9th Ward where the levees broke, with a healing ceremony and a reading of the names of those who died. We then march through the streets until a brass band joins us at our half-way point to lead us the rest of the way in the New Orleans’ Second Line tradition. We end at Hunter’s Field where we hold a rally with speakers and performers. Join us this year for the 17 year anniversary.
