The New Orleans education system has changed dramatically in the almost ten years since Hurricane Katrina. NPR's Michel Martin is in town for a live event looking at those changes. It's part of her Going There series, where she hosts conversations about local topics with national significance.
Martin recently spoke about the event with WWNO Education Reporter Mallory Falk. She started by explaining why she chose to focus on education in New Orleans.
NPR Presents Michel Martin: Chartered Watersstarts at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 21 at the George and Joyce Wein Jazz & Heritage Center. Join the conversation @NPRMichel and #NOLASchools.
