The project aimed to help Americans understand conditions along the rural Gulf Coast and explore how America's failure to formulate effective rural policy is reaping disaster. |

Ten photographers from Kamoinge, a New York-based collective of African-American photographers, documented ravished communities impacted by the hurricane and the devastation's far-reaching ramifications on the economic, social, and racial fabric of its residents; the resulting body of work explores the despair, as well as the hope and resilience of the many residents who have lived in these communities for countless generations. |
