Hurricane Katrina: 20 Years After the Storm with Robin Roberts

Roberts returns home to the Gulf Coast for a deeply personal look at the region 20 years after Hurricane Katrina. Drawing on two decades of her own reporting, Roberts revisits the storm's enduring impact, sharing hard truths, inspiring stories of resilience, and powerful updates on a community still rebuilding after one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in American history. Roberts visits New Orleans, where the city's recovery has been shaped not just by rebuilding efforts, but also by a revival of its vibrant music scene and traditions. She speaks with GRAMMY(R) Award-winner Harry Connick Jr. at the New Orleans Jazz Museum, discussing the origins of jazz music and the return of Jazz Fest following Hurricane Katrina. She then travels to her hometown of Pass Christian, Mississippi, where she visits her former high school and beloved local spots and speaks with Chipper McDermott, the town's former mayor, about their rebuilding efforts. Additional interviews featured in the special include artists Trombone Shorty, Tank from Tank & The Bangas, and Branford Marsalis.
