Messages to Loved Ones
In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina survivors in New Orleans’ St. Bernard Parish await rescue on a roof spray-painted with messages to loved ones. Wrote history professor Douglas Brinkley: “I had felt immune to the disaster. … Then this simple image of the forlorn roof, not at all graphic, cut like a knife. For painted in white on the rooftop was the simple saying: ‘Love You Kid.’”
