DESCRIPTION
Devastated by the break in the Industrial Canal levee and flood wall during hurricane Katrina, the lower ninth ward lay in ruins. Cars and trucks overturned, house blown off their foundations, the relics of people’s lives strewn about covered in muck and mire and mold (see above). There was doubt that this once thriving working-class black community would ever be reanimated. But thanks to the efforts of actor/activist Brad Pitt, the organization Make It Right, and some innovative, dedicated architects and designers, a new community is rising.
