My visit to New Orleans in October.
I came across this in the French Quarter, which sustained little damage, but I did talk to many workers in the Quarter who were directly impacted by the storm. Most of them lost everything they owned and were rebuilding their lives from scratch.

This city is so far from coming back to what it was. Very sad, indeed.

2. Not much.
We stayed in the Ninth Ward in a campground on Lake Pontchartrain. The campground was new since the storm, but there was still so much devastation in and around the campground.

Your picture shows a true representation of what is still showing.

5. That's damn powerful.
You got just enough context around the handbill to lead the eye around a little, but the subject remains Dr. King's words. I'm really shaken by this photo.
