Summary

Hurricane Ida

Today’s episode is Hurricane Ida. More specifically what went into our decision to stay or go, and what things have been like afterwards.

Support comes from The Historic New Orleans Collection, whose new book Economy Hall has been called “lyrical and mysterious and always captivating” by the New York Times.

Author Fatima Shaik follows the civil rights pioneers of Economy Hall through landmark events—from the Haitian Revolution to the birth of jazz—that shaped New Orleans and the United States. Visit HNOC.org/Economy Hall to learn more.
