For several weeks, CultureMap columnist Katie Oxford has been roaming the backroads and bayous of Louisiana to tell the stories of the people most affected by the BP oil spill. Katie met Russell Dardar and wrote a moving CultureMap column about the Louisiana fisherman whose livelihood has been threatened by the disaster in the Gulf.
News travels fast. Today CNN features Russell. Here's the CNN story:
