Ten years after Hurricane Katrina鈥攁nd all the upheaval and change that it wrought on every facet of life鈥攑arts of New Orleans are flourishing again.
No American city in recent years has had to climb back from near ruin. And no American city has had to rebuild its entire public school system.
A system that is still evolving. A system that is showing signs of progress. A system that is still divisive.
And a system whose architects promise will deliver a high-quality education for all of New Orleans鈥� children regardless of race and income.
Will it happen?
