This is my home! Unfortunately I don't live there anymore. I'm 76 years old and so happy our people, especially our youth, are carrying on our African and Caribbean tradition today! It is our tradition, history and culture and it goes back over 150 years. With our youth our unique tradition and culture will never die. It has been said that New Orleans is the most African city in America! As we say in NOLA, Laissez les bons temps rouler, "let the good times roll"!

Top 2 video of all time on youtube and i have been looking at second line videos since 2006. Nothing but Blackness,which is great. Black Men,Black Women,Black Elderly,most important Black children being together in harmony. Black Treme is the oldest black community in the United States but it's never mentioned with the other historically Black enclaves like Harlem or Black wall street Tulsa. Im from the 9th ward but i have great adulation for that 6th ward. I was there when club Treme and Club Xscape was relevant before they gentrified it and turn it to a coffee shop.
I was born here but dad got transferred when I was pretty young. Place is still in my soul and it gives me chills every time I hear the bass drum and tuba hit it.
No offense but why are you here? It's not about hate or love,it's the same question you and your white neighbors would ask me if i was in your comfortable spaces. Why are you here? This so called stuff you say is the coolest shit in the world,is paying homage to the Black unpaid labor engine that built New Orleans.(The Black Slaves that rebelled & killed your white ancestors which whom raped, tortured,brutalized,dehumanized,sold black women,men,& children to different slave owners. This is the spirit of the Black Slave Charles Deslonde and his liberators that orchestrated a insurrection from Laplace to New Orleans. On to New Orleans, Freedom or Die!!! they yelled. From Congo Square to the 9th ward,the ancestors are with us. These Black Second Lines is Black people long lasting suffering,pain,sadness,happiness & anger. This historical recreational event is the spirit & the representation of our ancestors that constantly was catching hell dealing with you white folks but still knew how to be resilient.
I came to visit visit from Philly about two weeks ago…I mean we have black stuff but I ain’t never in life see my ppl out like this before it was so beautiful I almost cried WE ARE ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS as a ppl!!!!!!
Before that bridge was erected, there was a thriving black community all up and through there. so we second line on the grounds that once was nothing but big Oak Trees and family trees gathering living life
@@kevinjackson6420Thank you Sir….I’m so sick of this S***T, talking bout we are Indigenous. We are Black Americans, American Descendants of slaves. They got nerve to say these ppl ain’t Black when New Orleans was a major slave port & played a significant role in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, more men, women, & children were brought to New Orleans & sold in slave markets than any other city in the country. I’m glad more of us are starting to push back against this we are Indigenous narrative, as it is erasing our culture as BAs. Half of these ppl don’t even realize that Native Americans owned slaves, the Five Tribes to include the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek & Seminole….Thats like bragging about being owned by the WM, they truly are lost Smdh😖
