Katrina Neighbors Solidarity Tour Documentary Screenings October 24, 6–9 p.m. Part of the Katrina Neighbors Solidarity Tour, this evening of documentary screenings will bring together members of the Triangle community to engage in conversation about the current conditions in New Orleans and along the Gulf Coast in the aftermath of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Organized by the People’s Hurricane Relief Fund, this Southeast tour is designed to bring attention to the continued evictions, lack of affordable housing, and scarcity of living-wage jobs available to displaced families. Kali Akuno, National Outreach Coordinator for the People’s Hurricane Relief Fund; Elena Everett, program associate at the Institute for Southern Studies; and Durham-based activist Ray Eurquhart, among others, will share their stories. Dawn Dreyer, Learning Outreach Director at the Center for Documentary Studies, will facilitate the evening’s discussion. Documentary artists from Duke and Durham will be on hand to discuss their work.
