This month, people across New Orleans will come together to honor the lives that were lost or forever changed by Hurricane Katrina, 20 years later.
The city is hosting a number of events leading up to the anniversary, including the Mayor’s K20 Summit, a week-long series of civic actions and public conversations. Local groups like the Hip Hop Caucus and Sess 4-5 are also holding their own commemorations. Sea Change will mark 20 years since Katrina with an event at the Broadside on Aug. 12. The Gulf States Newsroom will host a screening of “Women of the Storm” at the Prytania Theatre on Aug. 27.
Here’s a schedule of events happening across the city.
