Alive in Truth began on September 4th, 2005 outside the Austin Convention Center, which served as a shelter for 6,000 New Orleans residents. It is an all-volunteer effort, and continues to collect oral history and to support displaced New Orleanians. Alive in Truth was awarded a Best Of Austin Award in 2005.
