Pontchartain Park, the oldest planned African-American middle class community in New Orleans, sustained some of the deepest flooding during the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe in 2005. For nearly two weeks the community was submerged under six, eight and, in some parts, more than14 feet of murky, muddy water. While the city was evacuated longtime resident Hal Amos captured these rare images of the historic community under water.
