Nicholls after Hurricane Katrina
|
|
|
On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina
struck New Orleans and
surrounding areas. The storm—and the flooding that
followed—caused
catastrophic damage to the city's Ninth Ward. The building that once
housed Francis T. Nicholls High School (later renamed Frederick
Douglass High School) was severely damaged. In 2006, classmate Al Ohm
returned to the old neighborhood and took a number of photographs.
