Additional Description

Summary

Ms. Whittington grew up in the city of New Orleans and remembers many opportunities she and her family shared during family gatherings. She was unable to leave the city because of transportation issues and had to be rescued after being submerged in rising waters for fifteen to seventeen hours. She is thankful to God for her two sons who because of their level-headedness and calming spirituals saved her life.
