On Saturday, the Original Big Seven Social Aid and Pleasure Club paraded again, retracing their steps, and beyond—to the end of the route they never got to complete a few weeks ago.
Thanks to all of you who’ve been paying attention to the Mother’s Day mass shooting in New Orleans. I was in the crowd that was attacked in gunfire that left 19 people shot. When my eyes started seeing through the chaos, a bloody semi-circle of bodies arched around me and my people—my partner, my baby, my sister, my nephew, my teachers, my friends, the comrades I organize with, the musicians I dance to, the artists I create with… My community got shot up.
