What Really Happened in NOLA
9 SepReceived this in email, and researched to try to determine validity. Found two links, neither of which is first hand, but the Daily Kos provides additional details about Lisa that make this more plausible…
Update [2005-9-6 23:25 by ch2]: Claude B in the comments found the same story in “Libération”, a French newspaper. They have additional information about the Moore family. Here’s my translation:
The Moore family is large and long established creole Catholic family in New Orleans, the Moores are musicians – Deacon John (Moore) is the most famous one of them – professors, nurses… Their houses are now submerged by flooding, and most of them have lost everything following Katrina’s passage. Lisa Moore, editor (Redbone press), has collected the testimony of her 43 year-old cousin, Denise Moore, once an education counselor, now a refugee in Baton Rouge. Here is her tale of a dive into Hell.
Update [2005-9-6 23:39 by ch2]: Lisa Moore is indeed the editor of Redbone press. The url below is their webpage and they have a message board. Anyone interested in getting in touch with Lisa to suggest she share her story with the media ?
