New Orleans planning a 2nd Line - Stern message to ICE... [View all]
https://www.reddit.com/r/Louisiana/comments/1pe3twp/new_orleans/This gentleman is making a very important statement. After Katrina, most of the clean up and rebuilding was done by immigrant labor. Many were terribly exploited, but they got the job done. New Orleans folk have never forgotten that. They are NOT happy that ICE is coming after the people who rebuilt their city when no one else stepped up.
They are planning a Second Line to celebrate their diverse community. Wish I could be there.
"9x second line" likely refers to a Second Line parade in New Orleans hosted by the Nine Times Social Aid and Pleasure Club, an organization from the Ninth Ward. These parades are a New Orleans tradition featuring brass bands and dancers, and they serve to celebrate, fundraise, or introduce clubs to the community. The term "second line" refers to the group of revelers who follow the brass band and the lead organization.
