DESCRIPTION:
Stephanie Jordan and the Jordan Family: Marlon Jordan (trumpet), Rachel Jordan (violin) performs "Here's to Life" at the "8/29: A Day of Presence and Remembrance," Candlelight March and Vigil in Jackson Square.

Appalled by the lack of progress in the Gulf, Susan Taylor and a group of prominent business, civic and entertainment organizations joined forces to mobilize Americans to converge upon New Orleans on August 29, 2007; the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The event, "8/29, A Day of Presence," took place outside the Morial Conventional Center. The ideal was to bring attention to the need for the government to act swiftly in creating a Marshall Plan to restore New Orleans and the Gulf Coast region. The day concluded with a Candlelight March and Vigil at Jackson Square in the Historic French Quarters.
