Now that you have read a journalistic account of the events before and after Hurricane Katrina from the New York Times, you are ready to explore this story from another perspective.

STEP 2: Read the following selection from Phyllis Montana- Leblanc’s memoir Not Just the Levees Broke using the reading tool you have selected:
Not Just the Levees Broke, Phyllis Montana-Leblanc.pdf
Note: This PDF looks very long, but my hope is that you won’t find this reading too time consuming. There are many blank pages in the text and a generous use of white space. Also, the writing style is fairly straightforward and conversational.
STEP 3: To get credit for this work, upload a copy of your reading notes to this assignment (either as a jpeg, a Word doc, or a PDF).
