By directly looking at the story it is not super clear who has power and who doesn’t, as they don’t explicitly say anything that implies that someone has more power than someone else. However, what is shown in the story is that many of the people who are going to the Superdome for safety and shelter are black. I think that this is implicitly implying that people who are not black have more power in that their homes did not get flooded or destroyed, or they had safe places to go other than the Superdome. Many homes that were significantly affected by Katrina were homes that black communities and other communities of color lived in due to a history of racialization and redlining. Thus, if you were white, your home may not have been impacted or you probably had somewhere safe to go or the money to get out of the city rather than going to the Superdome.

It is the video that asked Black children to speak. They are talked about often but rarely listened to. Teachers might need to give space for them sharing their context to better support those groups of students. We need to be the healer and helper for students.

This seems to be a happy ending for them, but the following danger like the trauma after disasters will present for them as well. According to the statistics provided by the author, “Katrina was the third strongest storm ever to make landfall in the United States, killing more than 1800 people. Approximately 850,000 housing units were damaged or destroyed” (p. 38). As an educator, it is imperative to create a safe learning environment for students. If students do not feel safe, how can they have a good academic performance? Teachers are the healer. We need to be ready to help support students similar to Louis who will experience trauma from disasters. According to one of the resources we found about the lasting effects of hurricane Katrina, “more than one in three kids displaced by Katrina suffered a serious emotional disturbance, ailments serious enough to impede a child’s academic progress or stunt overall development” (Rivlin, 2015). It is essential for educators to preserve students’ health and well-being. In other words, we must emphasize the importance of mental health at school. If this happens in our classroom, we can let students stretch their body to have some breaks after studying for a long time, and practice calm breathing. Torres (2021) indicated that “ Brains suffering from trauma are not primed to learn, so building brain breaks into each day — like regularly stepping away from desks, or practicing calm breathing — will be important in creating mental space for learning”.
