Event Description

After acquiring and reading Drowned City: Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans by Don Brown from your local library or book seller, please join us for a book discussion covering topics such as community and individual preparedness, equity issues in preparedness, uses of graphic non-fiction for preparedness outreach, and more.

From the Publisher: "On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina's monstrous winds and surging water overwhelmed the protective levees around low-lying New Orleans, Louisiana…The riveting tale of this historic storm and the drowning of an American city is one of selflessness, heroism, and courage—and also of incompetence, racism, and criminality. Don Brown’s kinetic art and as-it-happens narrative capture both the tragedy and triumph of one of the worst natural disasters in American history."

Upon completion of the class, participants will be able to claim 1 MLA CE Credit.

This webinar will not be recorded.

This webinar will use breakout rooms for some portions of discussion.
