Their Stories: Oral Histories of Katrina (Rosie McInnes)

Rosie went on the Leadership trip to New Orleans, but when everyone else came back to Newton, she stayed. On her own for a week, she traveled to the areas of the city hardest hit by the hurricane and collected stories of residents. As she found through her travel journal and research, oral history was cathartic to them, but especially to herself. This is Rosie McInnes's formal presentation of her 2011 Senior Year Project at Newton North High School in Newton, Massachusetts. For more, visit http://rosiemcinnes.wikispaces.com
