ALT grey square containing the following quote: "the water. my god the water. the angry water rain roaring sideways with the force of a freight train smashing your resolve to ride it out, or inching down an interstate at two miles an hour so-called evacuating from the water. the dirty, angry water, running if you were lucky enough to have wheels and a wallet with plastic in it. the water. you will dream of wet mountains falling on you and wake up gasping for air as though you were drowning, oh the water deeper than any pool you’ve ever swum in, water more terrible than anything you can think of, another middle passage, except this time they don’t even provide ships"
ALT grey square containing the following quote: "I used to wonder how my ancestors survived the Atlantic, Katrina has answered that question, I wonder no more—there is a faith that is beyond faith, a belief when there is nothing left to believe in, . . . the realization that in order to live you had to survive and in order to survive you had to do whatever needed to be done, few of us really, really know what we will do when we’ve got nothing but have to find somethingto keep us going. . . . twelve days later and you still don’t know where all your family is, if you’ve got faith, you’re about to use it all—is this some of what our ancestors saw?" —Kalamu ya Salaam, from “Hard Times in Big Easy,” Kalfou vol. 3 no. 1
