Today I was struck by how quickly the country and the world has moved
beyond Katrina. So many politicians and citizens have already pushed
the event to the historical parts of their brain. In contrast, for
local residents of New Orleans, remembering Katrina is not an option
or an afterthought. Among local resident of New Orleans, everyone
lost something in the storm and this loss is persistent, present and
no where close to becoming a memory. No one is concerned that they
will forget Katrina because the storm has not yet ended.
