The State of New Orleans Culture: 20 Years After Katrina on August 28

— On Thursday, August 28, The Ella Project presents The State of New Orleans Culture: 20 Years After Katrina, a public panel discussion from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the New Orleans Jazz Museum, moderated by journalist and documentarian Lolis Eric Elie.

“Hurricane Katrina changed New Orleans and the nation in profound ways,” says moderator Lolis Eric Elie. “Still many of the potential lessons of our historic levee failures have not been learned. We hope that this panel discussion will provide an opportunity both to reflect on our Katrina experience and chart a path forward through the disasters and opportunities to come.”.
