Description:

Come join us for dinner and conversation. History Professor Leslie M. Harris left New Orleans behind at age 18. It's a city that has fascinated so many, but one where she felt she couldn't thrive. Still, she had always imagined it would be there for her--until Hurricane Katrina in 2005. What does it mean for a child to turn her back on her hometown? What does it mean for a nation to lose a city? Registration required. Space limited
