Perhaps one of the more creative opportunities arising from the weathered ruins and the waters of Hurricane Katrina is a vessel of energy and talent called Rising Tide NOLA.Katrina remade the region and in doing so, forced young and old, businesses and professionals to rethink values and futures.
In 2006, Moseley, as many others, felt the need to observe, speak out and be involved. Literally, The State of Louisiana and the Katrina survivor equilibrium’s dependent upon their voices.
Now in its 9th year, Rising Tide NOLA continues to attract community activists, writers, members of the creative class and civic leaders who want to a close-up look at the remaining and persistent problems and potential solutions in bringing positive change to the region.
Rising Tide NOLA is one of those opportunities to do so.{snippet 109}
