NOLA Survivor Stories
City Pages of Minneapolis/St. Paul has collected a moving series of first-hand accounts of New Orleans residents relocated to Minnesota in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
In CP's estimation, about 1,000 have been transported to Minnesota, and the paper shares 20 of their stories. As project editor Steve Perry writes, "The real measure of all that was done wrong by city, state, and federal governments, and of all that people trapped in New Orleans had to do and endure as a result, is in these tales and thousands of others like them."
