Did you know that, since Hurricane Katrina, Boston-area building
trades people have made several trips to rewire and replumb
flood-damaged homes on the Gulf coast?

In fact, a crew of seven local electricians, plumbers, and carpenters
just returned from New Orleans' lower ninth ward. Come hear their
stories and watch a multi-media presentation of storm-ravaged
neighborhoods, recovery efforts, and the faces of marginalized
minority residents who are fiercely determined to rebuild their
community.

Come hear from electricians Peg Preble and Rick Yoder, plumbers Maura
Russell and Barbara Taggart, general contractor Jeff Murray, carpentry
and electrical helpers Louise Johnson of SEIU and her brother Eric
Johnson of Red Sun Press.
