Oral Histories of New Orleans Who Survived Katrina

Alive in Truth is an all-volunteer, grassroots effort to record oral and written history (along with photographs) about the lives of displaced New Orleanians, in their own words. Alive in Truth began on September 4, 2005 outside the Austin Convention Center, which served as a shelter for 6,000 New Orleans residents. Most of these were evacuated from the Superdome, the Convention Center, the I-10 Overpass, or their own roofs.

I was just hoping for such a thing today. In 30 years I want to go back to these records, track down the people given the reports, and find out what happened to them.
