Events › Witness to Change - Community Conversations on Coastal Impacts

Join us for a discussion of Jesmyn Ward's Nationally Awarded book, Salvage the Bones. Jesmyn tells the story how of how one family on the Mississippi Gulf Coast endured Hurricane Katrina from the eyes of a 15-year-old narrator named Esch.

Witness to Change is an ongoing series, taking place at four different locations across St. Tammany Parish:

• Monday, January 30, 6 p.m.: Rising at Covington (event has passed)
• Monday, February 27, 6 p.m.: Salvage the Bones at Causeway
• Monday, March 27, 6 p.m.: The Water Knife at South Slidell
• Monday, April 24, 6 p.m.: Bayou Farewell at Slidell

Whether you’re a scientist, a policymaker, a student, an activist, or a concerned citizen, this discussion will provide a platform to consider the effects of climate change on coastal communities and how we can work together to create a more just and equitable future. We look forward to seeing you there!
