Edited by the cultural director of MoveOn.org, IT TAKES A
NATION tells the extraordinary story of how thousands of
Americans came together to provide shelter, sustenance, and
hope to survivors of Hurricane Katrina. Through MoveOn.org's
Hurricane Housing website, volunteers brought aid to
evacuees by providing housing, cars, jobs, clothes,
healthcare, and, perhaps most important, community.
Presenting a positive contrast to the national shame that
was widely felt about the Bush administration's handling of
the Katrina crisis, these candid first-person accounts and
portraits are a moving testament to the power of everyday
people to make miracles happen.
An inspiring collection of stories and images from
MoveOn.org's Hurricane Housing project, which brought
shelter and aid to thousands of Hurricane Katrina evacuees.
Includes more than 40 full-color photos by New York
Times photojournalist Carter Smith and others.
With a foreword by Barack Obama, the recently elected
Democratic Junior Senator for Illinois, civil rights
attorney, and community organizer.
