SUMMARY: A new exhibit titled “Hurricane Katrina: Mississippi Remembers” showcases the aftermath of the devastating storm, highlighting the resilience of survivors through the lens of Vicksburg photographer Melody Golding. The exhibit features poignant black-and-white photos of destruction, recovery efforts, and personal stories from those affected across Mississippi, marking the 20th anniversary of the hurricane. While often overshadowed by the impact on New Orleans, the exhibit underscores the struggles faced by communities along the Gulf Coast and in Jackson. In addition to the photographs, the museum offers gallery talks, school programs, and panel discussions about the hurricane’s legacy.
