You’ve read Zeitoun, the 2011 Mizzou Reads selection on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Now hear how the “Category 5 General” who coordinated military relief efforts in New Orleans took charge in an atmosphere of chaos and desperation.
Lt. General Russel L. Honoré, commander of Joint Task Force Katrina, will speak about disaster preparedness and recount his experience restoring hope and order to a community left in shambles on Sept. 14 at 7:30 p.m. in Jesse Auditorium.
There will be a reception in Ellis Auditorium at 4 p.m. and a book signing following the presentation. Tickets are free and can be picked up at the MSA/GPC Box Office in the MU Student Center.
