rebeccasolnit.bsky.social Rebecca Solnit @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social · Aug 29
What happened before, during, and after a hurricane, flood, and lies and racist violence hit Katrina should be remembered accurately, even though it was narrated with wild, destructive inaccuracy at the time, by government officials and mainstream media. Wrote about it here, five years after:
Reconstructing the Story of the Storm: Hurricane Katrina at Five
How we remember Katrina is how we'll prepare for future disasters. Getting the story straight matters for justice—and for survival.
