"THE GUMBO POT" written and directed by DWe Williams
If you only had a little while to pack to leave your home, what would you take with you? Many, many people had to leave their homes in New Orleans to escape hurricane Katrina. Gathering her family and a few valuables, Grandma left North Tulane Street of the 9th Ward in New Orleans and headed for Oklahoma. She packed memories in the trunk of her car, in her head and in her “gumbo pot”. Leaving her 1970 Barracuda Convertible, white picket fence and her big dog “Roscoe” behind, she left not knowing when or if she would return. While Grandma settles in Oklahoma City she still keeps New Orleans alive and well in her heart and in “The Gumbo Pot”.
Join Rhythmically Speaking as we share Grandma's memories and the culture of New Orleans. “Grandma, what do you have in that pot?
“Well child let me tell you……..”
