Douglas Brinkley to Do Oral Histories of Katrina

On C-Span Doiglas Brinkley, the Tulane historian, says that he plans to begin taking oral histories from Katrina victims and officials.

Brinkley fled to Houston after the hurricane hit New Orleans. He returned later to try to help the victims.

He told Brian Lamb that the oral histories will be taken under the auspices of the Roosevelt center, which he heads.
