Some call it Hurricane Katrina. Some call it the Federal Flood. Others call it the day the levees broke. On August 29, 2005, the city of New Orleans was submerged. That story of hubris, incompetence, and nature's wrath is now etched into the national consciousness. But the people who lived through the flood and its aftermath have a different story to tell. A story of rumors, betrayal, and one of the most misunderstood events in American history. Hosted by Vann R. Newkirk II.

The story of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination on April 4, 1968, is often recounted as a conclusion to a powerful era of civil rights in America, but how did this hero’s murder come to be the stitching used to tie together a narrative of victory? The week that followed his killing was one of the most fiery, disruptive, and revolutionary, and is nearly forgotten. Over the course of eight episodes, Holy Week brings forward the stories of the activists who turned heartbreak into action, families scorched by chaos, and politicians who worked to contain the grief. Seven days diverted the course of a social revolution and set the stage for modern clashes over voting rights, redlining, critical race theory, and the role of racial unrest in today’s post–George Floyd reckoning.

A humane and moving attempt at truth and reconciliation that acknowledges in a deep and meaningful way those who were victimized by the US Government’s poorly constructed flood infrastructure, inadequate disaster relief planning, and woefully incompetent Katrina response as well as post-disaster capitalist greed and property confiscations and our larger society’s ignorance and passive acceptance of it all…

Leeann is an incredible representative for the people who came through Katrina to a different life post storm. Interview with Brownie was a lot more insightful than I expected. Kudos on your research and reporting. Highly recommend this podcast.
