del.icio.usHurricane Katrina hit almost two years ago, but the Big Easy is still hard up.
To raise money and remind Brooklyn of New Orleans’s continued need for help, community members Alice McFarland and Kate Suisman are putting on a charity event, “Remembering New Orleans,” on June 6. It will feature soul food, live brass band music, and the films of Helen Hill, a New Orleans resident who was killed last year.
There will also be a slideÂshow about New Orleans that examines how much work still needs to be done.
“They’re still experiencing grief,” said Suisman, an aide to Councilwoman Letitia James (D–Prospect Heights) who volunteered in New Orleans last winter. “It looks like the storm just happened a few weeks ago.”
“Remembering New Orleans,” Soda Bar (629 Vanderbilt Ave., at St Marks Avenue in Prospect Heights), June 6. Doors open at 6 pm, program begins at 7:30. Suggested donation is $20.
