Katrina Photographs - 9th Ward Churches

The 9th Ward was the home of many small, community churches. These are views of some of these churches. Many have been cleaned and have signs indicating that they will be rebuilt. Some, however, appear to be abandoned, as their parishioners have been scattered.
