To discuss how the Gulf Coast has changed in the two decades since Hurricane Katrina, Geoff Bennett spoke with historian Douglas Brinkley. He was a professor at Tulane University in New Orleans in 2005 when Katrina hit, and is the author of "The Great Deluge: Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast." He's now a professor at Rice University in Houston.
