"(Benevolent organizations) also held parades to mark all sorts of holidays and festivals, and for many other reasons, too... By the 1880s, parades were near-daily events in the city. For Black New Orleans communities in the Jim Crow era, they also became a form of protest, challenging segregation by openly marching through public streets all over the city."

Whoever organized the Second Line parade in front of Club Fugazi this afternoon in San Francisco— thank you! The band kicked off as our audience was exiting and a whole bunch of them got scooped up into it and went on a Mardi Gras tour of North Beach. Many thought we had arranged it. Wish we had thought of it! What a fun way to leave the show.

As George says afterward, “it don’t get no mo greazier dan dat!”

@ASquareClaire I saw a yesterday too, going upriver on Burgundy, near Mandeville St. It was for a wedding, but had a particularly good band with them. is the best place to just randomly run into good music

Just heard a wedding’s second line celebration coming down my block & immediately ran out onto the porch to watch & dance a bit.

Realized that’s a far cry from how I will hide in a dark room at any sign of wandering carolers.

What can I say? Brass bands > Eye contact with strangers 🤷‍♀️
