How sports have helped New Orleans heal in decade since Hurricane Katrina
Posted Aug 26, 2015
Ten years have passed since the wind blew and the waters rose in New Orleans. Ten years since lives were lost and others were irretrievably changed. Ten years since a nation watched as a great and beloved city was battered by the random cruelty of nature and the inexcusable incompetence of government. Ten years since Katrina entered the lexicon of American culture, a symbol of pain, sadness and devastation, yet also of courage, strength and perseverance.
