HEAR OUR VOICE GALVESTON

A video produced in Galveston, Texas that documents the stories of struggle after Hurricane Ike... We are here tonight to amplify the voices and illuminate the circumstances of the socially vulnerable in Galveston and to invite you into what we hope will be the beginning of a community-driven conversation on the issues presented in the film. Before I describe the program, I have a list of people and organizations to thank for their contributions to this event. First, I would like to thank the Harris and Eliza Kempner Fund. Without their generous support, none of this would have been possible. We are very grateful for their financial support... Second, I would like to thank the co-organizers of this event, Dr. Jason Glenn, my colleague at the Institute, and Ana Diaz-Vizarreta, our volunteer who has selflessly given to this project for close to a year without expectation of compensation or recognition. Third on my list are Michael Jackson and A.J. Halvorsen. Without them this project..
