There’s the center that promotes school readiness for 3- and 4-year olds. Another organization provides materials to help residents rebuild. There’s also the former veteran who invested his life savings to open the first full-service grocery store in the Lower 9 since Katrina. UNTOLD tells the stories of 16 Katrina survivors ages 8 to 80 from the Lower 9th Ward. The book has been well-received, gaining several awards and receiving film credit in two National Geographic documentaries on floods and disasters.
