This is NOLAson checking in. As the man on the street for THE BLACK COLLEGIAN, I’ve been able to attend a number of events commemorating Katrina this week and meet a number of people and see a range of emotions.
While the events are marked by somber remembrances and frustration with the lack of progress, one of subtle, underlying themes is the need for young people to step up and take charge.
Mainstream media may focus on the commemorative events in general; it’s my hope to bring you the views of young folks attending area rallies, forums and universities.
