The New Orleans Fatherhood Consortium and Ashé Cultural Arts Center are proud co-sponsors of this year's Favorite Fathers of New Orleans 2011. A Reception and Recognition Ceremony will take place at Ashé Cultural Arts Center on Friday, June 17, 2011, from 5:30 - 8:00 p.m.
Despite father absence in families being a problem, there are countless numbers of men who have dignified themselves by being great fathers to their children. Often, these men go unrecognized for the good things they do. The Favorite Fathers of New Orleans Ceremony will showcase role-model fathers who are making vital contributions as parents and men in the community. Nominees for the 2011 Favorite Father Awards of New Orleans came from children, parents, churches, schools, friends and other organizations.

BOOK SIGNING - KATRINA'S SECRETS: STORMS AFTER THE STORM BY C. RAY NAGIN
Ashé Cultural Arts Center | 1724 Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard
(504) 569-9070
Free and open to the public.
Former Mayor C. Ray Nagin's long-awaited account, Katrina's Secrets: Storms after the Storm, lays out the days leading up to and following the storm. At once stirringly elegiac and disarmingly candid, this spellbinding reckoning delivers exacting detail, while boldly exposing secrets that, until now, have been glossed over or spun out. Each hour, Nagin navigated tumultuous political channels, all while survivors clung to rooftops and begged for drinking water. ...Clear and compassionate, the author illuminates the unparalleled complexity of the city's immediate and far-reaching response. He charts the magnitude of the efforts undertaken in response to the lives that hung in the balance and the actions taken to restore New Orleans to its rightful luster. Katrina's Secrets also provides crucial context of race and class to shed new and unnerving light on how the events played out.

| Roman Diaz |
Roman Diaz is a master percussionist from Havana, where elders in the fine arts of classic Afro-Cuban musical traditions trained him. In the USA, he organized a performance ensemble called "Omi Odara," a Lukumi phrase meaning "pure water," or "water that blesses" because "there is nothing more pure than water." Diaz's ensemble is distinguished for respecting these traditions through artful and passionate performances based on deep ritual knowledge. They entertain while they educate.
