New Orleans tries recovery
Continued from page 7A
people — my relatives and other pet^le - did
n’t make it ”
Everage, 39, was working on a cruise ship in
Hawaii when Hurricanes Katrina and Rita
hit New Orleans and like many others she
observed the devastation of her home on TV
"Everything was crushed and saturated
weeks ago and then the second storm hit and
I’m watching [television] and saying, "Hiat’s
my neighborhood,’" she said And then they
said the lower Ninth Ward got hit the worst.
And I’m thinking, The levee that broke is
right where I live.”
Everage lived in a largely African-American
community best known for producing cultur
al icons like Antonine “Fats” Domino Jr., the
legendary rock-and-roll star and Kalamu ya
Salaam, a dramatist, fiction writer and prolif
ic poet
Like a small city within a dty, the Lower
Ninth Ward is bounded by the Southern
Railway railroad and Florida Avenue Canal to
the north, the St. Bernard Pariah line to the
east, St. Claude Avenue to the south and the
Industrial Canal to the west, which effective
ly isolates the enclave from the rest of New
Orieans.
Wrested finm the wilds of a cypress swamp
by poor African-Americans and immigrant
laborers from Ireland, Italy and Germany, the
Ward was among the last of the city’s neigh
borhoods to be developed More than 36 per
cent of its residents live under the poverty
line
