"DEFIANCE ON DESIRE STREET"


10 of 11

New Orleans' Ninth Ward was one of the hardest hit areas of the city by Hurricane Katrina and then the broken levees. A friend and neighbor of the group who banded together on Desire Street died only 2 blocks away just a few days before the group was forced to evacuate. Once they heard of Lionel's death they started having second thoughts about remaining, but still they weren't convinced.
