Katrina. The Lower Ninth Ward .. what is is NOW.

By Mac McKinney


Welcome To The Lower Ninth Ward, Where Tragedy And Hope Meet





This photo essay takes you to the scene of some of the worst flooding
in New Orleans during Katrina, the Lower Ninth Ward, where today, 20
months later, despite the heroic efforts of residents and volunteers,
the challenge to rebuild still looms like Mt. Everest, with the Feds
and city government more of an obstacle to recovery efforts than a
source of inspiration and support. So groups like Common Ground have
taken the helm.
