Lewis Taylor is interviewed by Neil Guidry.

Lewis Taylor, is a life-long resident of Plaquemines Parish, La. After Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, this 78 year old “displaced citizen” entered the bureucratic system to find his family, his home and his land. When asked if he wishes to return to his hometown of Buras, which is allegedly unlivable, Lewis replies: “Yeh, you talkin’ ‘bout where I come from? That’s my ground down there, everything! I farm there…every seed…corn, everything! I used to do all that, but I didn’t do it for myself, I did it for my daddy and my brother. And when I sow that seed, it jump up just like we grow it! Everything they got in the grocery stores; I used to grow it. That’s why I’m anxious to get back home.” Lewis maintains his good nature and hope as he accepts with humor the complexities facing him in the disaster.
