They will be honored for all of the work that they have done to help rebuild their beloved New Orleans. The Chicago Tribune recently published an article in their "Cityscapes" section about the ceremony in which it was written that the co-founders:
"...will be honored for their creation of a multi-generational village to house musicians in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, thereby preserving and promoting the cultural traditions and practices that define New Orleans. The group’s leadership in restoring and revitalizing the Upper Ninth Ward has been a catalyst for additional community development in the neighborhood. The founders will be celebrated for their role in helping sustain local culture and inclusion of low-income populations that support a vibrant and successful city."
