Desert Bayou: Life After Katrina

Screening & Discussion

$5 Elders 65+ and Students with ID
$7 General Public
Cost of admission benefits the March 2008 Katrina Restoration Student Volunteer Trip to New Orleans and the Gulf Region.
Friends,
I must confess that previewing this film has reopened unhealed wounds. It took me right back to the eve of the hurricane, watching my people dragging their lives to the only hope left - an already defaulted Superdome. It took me back to the day of the hurricane as the water rose to the rooftops, families crouched and cried for help as media helicopters flew over, and bodies floated... It took me back to the aftermath of the hurricane as my people were left abandoned to chaos, mayhem, madness and yes, murder. How ever you look at the cause of deaths, directly, or not, it was murder.
Reopened were the first hand accounts, the stories, the nightmares, the fear, the anguish, the cries I heard over and over as I worked with relocated families - fresh out of the water - who found their way to the care center established by my former Dallas, Texas congregation, St. Luke Community United Methodist Church. Over 250,000 people evacuated to Texas, an estimated 75,000 to Dallas.
Every time I hear the current and prospective Presidential administration's mantra of 911, I say 829. Not since the dogs and water hoses unleashed on non-violent protestors for civil rights in the late 50's and early 60's, has any visual so hauntingly tugged at my heart.
"In the wake of one of the worse natural and humanitarian disasters ever to visit American shores, nearly 600 African Americans were airlifted to the almost entirely white state of Utah, without their knowledge. Desert Bayou is more than a Hurricane Katrina documentary, it seeks to examine whether two cultures can come together in a time of utter chaos, or whether their differences prove too great a challenge to overcome. In their own words evacuees of Hurricane Katrina tell how they survived the storm of the century, and out of the rubble ended up at a military installation in the desert of Utah." (Source: Cinema Libre Studios)
Written by Thomas Lemer, directed by Alex LeMay, and nominated for the 2008 NAACP "Outstanding Documentary" Image Award, Desert Bayou glimpses into the lives of families who find themselves dropped down, cut off from opportunity, placed under curfew and isolated for the sake of count and control, 45 miles outside Salt Lake City, in the middle of a desert artillery range.
In addition to the voices of the evacuees, we hear from celebrities, "political and military leaders, and community and social figures who address the questions of race, politics and religion hurdle towards each other in this truly American story: A Story of loss and reunion, of sorrow and rebirth, of anger and rejoicing, but most of all, a story of hope."
In particular, Desert Bayou glimpses into the lives of two families who struggle with the question of whether or not the displacement comes as a blessing in disguise as they are granted an opportunity to start life over, anew.
The screening begins at 4:00 p.m. at Strosaker Auditorium, located in the Case Quad (south of Euclid, entering across from Severance Hall). The actual street address is 2125 Adelbert Road. The screening will be immediately followed by an audience discussion led by a panel of students, faculty, staff and community partners, which I will moderate. Seating is limited to 580 on a first come first serve basis.
The screening is open to the public with an admission fee which will help provide for travel and housing of students, staff and area residents as they journey to New Orleans in March to help with on-going Gulf Region restoration efforts. The University's Center for Civic Engagement has led five volunteer trips to New Orleans since the devastation of the hurricane. Janice Eatman Williams organizes and leads the group. She can be reached at (216) 368-1462 for information about volunteer and sponsoring opportunities.
We look forward to being with you, and hearing from you on Sunday.

Primer -- Knowledgeworks
Editor’s Note: A year ago, education, business, nonprofit and civic leaders from Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky came together to launch an unprecedented effort to make a cohesive system that ensures that every child gets a college diploma and succeeds. While much work is yet to be done to reach that goal, the Strive coalition has earned high marks locally and has gotten attention from those elsewhere who are trying to get everyone on board to reach education goals. As Strive enters its second year of operation, we offer here an account of Strive's first-year successes written by one of the group’s founders.
Collaborative Tries a Holistic Approach to Student Success
Nancy L. Zimpher
University of Cincinnati
For decades, America's colleges and universities have known that the educational "pipeline" needs repair, literally from birth to career. Students arrive at schools under-prepared for kindergarten and to our campuses unprepared for college-level work. Worse yet, some students do not arrive at college at all.
In response, proposed solutions have almost outnumbered the potential students. We have implemented standards (usually without the resources to help students achieve them), we have blamed the schools, the parents, the community, the times. We have tried incentives with mixed success. And, true to our academic natures, we have studied the problem endlessly.
In Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, a collection of colleges and universities, local governments, school districts, businesses, foundations and nonprofit organizations is trying something new. Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky's unprecedented effort, known as Strive, employs a holistic approach focused on getting kids to graduate from high school and earn a degree or other postsecondary credential.

For Immediate Release

CLEVELAND – Cuyahoga Community College will celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during the College's 31st annual observance of his birthday. This year's program theme, "Celebration in Music," will feature a free concert with national recording artist Lecresia Campbell, along with 'The Voices and Rhythmic Sounds of Mega,' the Cleveland Philharmonic Orchestra and the Cleveland School of the Arts Concert Choir.

The 40+ vocal ensemble and five-piece band have shared the stage with national artists including Yolanda Adams, Fred Hammond, Bishop T.D. Jakes and many others.
Victor Liva is in the midst of his first year as music director of the Cleveland Philharmonic Orchestra, a full symphony orchestra now marking its 68 th year. The Philharmonic is proud to have been the first symphonic group in Cleveland to honor Dr. King.

Grants to Film Schools Application Information

Each scholarship provided to HFPA Fellows ranges from a minimum of $5,000 to a maximum of $25,000 per student per year, at discretion of institution.

Even if you do not have a college-aged child at home, please share this with someone who does, pass this scholarship information on to anyone and everyone that comes to mind. Though there are a number of companies and organizations that have donated monies for scholarships use to African Americans, a great deal of the money is being returned because of a lack of interest.
Please take the initiative to get your children involved. There is no need for money to be returned to donating companies because we fail to apply for it.
Please pass this information on to family members, nieces, nephews, friends with children etc. We must get the word out that money is available.
If you are a college student or getting ready to become one, you probably already know how useful additional money can be. Our youth really could use these scholarships.
