A brigade of New Orlean citizens, mostly black, camp out along the side of an interstate which cuts through the heart of the city. The citizens wait for buses to take them from their previous shelter at the Superdome to new shelters in Dallas and Houston.

Where a busy highway once existed now serves as a waiting area with hundreds of people but few cars in sight.

A tight crowd of evacees at the Superdome eagerly wait for buses to transport them out of New Orleans. People in the crowd display a mix of emotions from anger to disbelief as the thousands of citizens cram into lines.

Jeremiah Ward's sandals are anything but typical. Beneath each of his feet are two cardboard packages wrapped together by a rubber band. The cardboard packages ironically say, "keep moving"- something that many citizens have had to do in order to survive Hurricane Katrina.
