3 Years Later, Katrina's Wrath Still Obvious

On this day three years ago, the Gulf Coast was bracing for Hurricane Katrina to make landfall. On a trip last month to New Orleans, Saint Michael's College professor Josselyne Price found there's still lots to rebuild there.

Years Later, Katrina's Wrath Still Obvious

For two weeks, Price and a small group of students taught African drumming to New Orleans musicians living in Hurricane Katrina's hardest-hit Lower Ninth Ward. Price says she was blown away by the destruction that still exists there three years later.

Josselyne Price says: "I felt let down, I went expecting to see more progress, I saw devastation." St. Michael's College student Nick Botto volunteered in New Orleans last semester, building homes with a Habitat for Humanity group. He saw much of the same devastation and believes people have forgotten about Hurricane Katrina victims. Nick Botto says, "It needs to be more publicised." Josselyne Price is already planning a trip back to New Orleans next summer.
