The W.K. Kellogg Foundation has created an interactive online documentary that shows how residents and nonprofits in the Central City neighborhood of New Orleans are confronting racial inequities and the ravages of Hurricane Katrina to revitalize the community.
Storytelling is a powerful tool to help communities come together and understand differences and work toward healing, so they can move toward a brighter future, says Kathy Reincke, a communication officer at the foundation.
The multimedia project features stories about Central City’s history and residents, its housing stock, and its economic-development efforts. The foundation designed the site to make the audio and video features accessible for both desktop computer users and people using mobile devices.
