As we work to rebuild New Orleans 20 years after Hurricane Katrina, the ground beneath us is literally disappearing. Sea levels are rising. Hurricanes are more intense, more frequent, and more deadly. These “natural disasters” are not so natural – they’re human-made crises fueled by fossil fuels and environmental racism. Anna Nguyen, Megan Bradley-Perry, and Fairetha Warren provide their perspective on how natural disasters and the climate crisis is ruling everything around us. “Weathering the Storm” is a powerful limited series marking the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina as both a history lesson and as a living, ongoing story. Through the voices of survivors, artists, and frontline leaders, this series traces how a city drowned by government failure, systemic racism, and environmental neglect sparked a rebirth of Black culture, resistance, and joy. It is a story of grief—and of power. Learn more about our commemoration efforts for the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina: https://katrina20.com
