Surprising to see so many men wearing hats in late 1963 . I just don't remember that.

There is a video that shows them waking up the neighborhood at the dawn of Mardi Gras. The song has been stuck in my head too! Salute to Big Cheif Bruce for his words of inspiration.

Ces bon che ces bon

I've read the book. Its conclusion was predetermined: a classic case of confirmation bias. In other words, the result was guided by the authors' pre-existing belief that Lorenzo Ferrer was Jean Laffite. Instead of looking for evidence of who Ferrer actually was, they looked for evidence that would support their theory and ignored or minimized documentation that conflicted with their "discoveries." (They did virtually no research in French archives.) They claim a letter written by Arsene LaCarriere Latour, a Frenchman who certainly knew Laffite, is "pivotal" in proving he was alive after his reported death in a naval battle off the coast of Central America. The letter mentions someone named "Maison Rouge," so they immediately connect that name to Jean Laffite's legendary house in Galveston called the "Maison Rouge." Obviously, according to the "Two Blondes," "Maison Rouge" is a code word for Jean Laffite! The problem with that hypothesis is that there was in fact a French nobleman named Joseph de Maison Rouge who fled France during the French Revolution and came to New Orleans. He left two illegitimate sons bearing his family name who were alive when Latour wrote the letter. The simple and most logical solution is that Latour was referring to one of the brothers, who wanted help recovering some of their ancestral property in France. All of this is documented in the Historic New Orleans Collection's own records ( www.hnoc.org/sites/default/files/file_uploads/Volume%2010.pdf ), but the authors simply hide those inconvenient facts in a footnote and say, in effect, "Our theory is better!" Their "proof" is no proof. Shame on the HNOC for promoting this garbage! They also pad their book with boring details about oldtime LIncolnton residents that, while accurate, prove absolutely nothing concerning Ferrer's origins or Jean Laffite. They throw in the old legend about Peter Stewart Ney, a habitually drunk Scotsman, actually being Marshal Michel Ney, who also faked his death. That tall tale has been discredited for years and now further discredited by DNA analysis. Their supposition that Laffite was a Freemason is unsupported by any primary evidence whatsoever. Most of the discussion about Freemasons is straight out of the "National Treasure" school of thought. I could go on and on. The bottom line: If you want a good, properly-researched biography of Jean Laffite, read The Pirates Laffite by William C. Davis.

This is such a breath of fresh air to hear about my heritage… my grandmother grew up in the Louisiana bayou..maybe her mom used some of these remedies… link to the past…thank you, Sir!

1 tablespoons olive oil- 1 tablespoons fire cider every morning. Has done wonders for us. All my life plagued with allergies and sinus issues. Not anymore

Experimentally excellent ⚗️•.

Anne Rice brought me here.

They were abandoned and so was the entire city. They knew... they knew exactly what would happen. Ill never forget this as long as i live.

American Culture is the Culture that was here before the Colonizers! The Americas North and South was practicing culture allll along. I honestly don't know what they call the current observation.

30% de l'anglais vient du français. Les anglophones interdisent une langue dont est issue la leur

Keep the culture going strong! Mardi Gras Indian Chiefs!

It's like some of them didn't even care. It makes you sick at your stomach.

The man who said Kennedy started the racial problems they've been having needs to read a little history. Those problems started over three hundred years before. Kennedy tried to correct them. Why wasn't the South infuriated with Johnson for signing Civil Rights Legislation then.

Just saw him on cspan. Great work!!!

I wish I had known about this when y'all streamed this live! My Dad played on a few episodes back in the '60s as Wilson the next door neighbor that Morgus would do science experiments on. Tommy George and my Dad, George Clayton, or better known as Karate George in New Orleans. My dad drove for United Cab 7 days a week, graveyard shift never during the day for almost 50 yrs! My Dad used to tell us stories about the episodes he was on and how no one would ever recognize Sid Noel without his makeup and get up on. I just saw the interview with Sid without his Morgus face and my Dad was right! I recognized his voice💗! I have never been able to find any of the episodes from the 1960-70's with my Dad. My sisters and I have looked and I even wrote the tv station when i was younger lol! My Dad played Wilson the next door neighbor. Morgus and Chopsley would have come over and try his experiments on him...Morgus's guinea pig lol! My Dad passed away in Oct 2006. If yall know where I could find any of the episodes from the 60's and 70's it would make my...and my sisters day... week...forever 😍!

Excellent

I wonder if he was a really tall man, would give the impression of wanting to turn the camera to capture his presence 🤔

Very intriguing, and a beautiful photo!😊

I remember the sugar and turpentine believe me that was nasty then was castor oil mineral oil sardines oil for mumps orange peels for colds when chewed

Americans were so naive back then. Couldn't even fathom that the govt or CIA could do it. Or maybe they were just too afraid to speak about it. Age of innocence died that day.

All pharmaceuticals are deliberately designed to damage the human body (liver, kidneys, immune function, nervous system, microbiome, brain). The resulting damage increases the need for more drugs to remedy the initial drug induced injury. It's a business decision to increase sales.

Yes I still do use the home remedies because of my grandpa & mother. My grandpa was the medicine man in the community. His mother was the midwife alongside was my mother.

I'm guessing New Orleans was not a Democrat state.

Ashe' (Axe'...Ache') is still evident in everyone who carries-on these deep traditions (remembers). The "Dead aren't dead"... they are with us just across the veil. Haven't seen NOLA for awhile... so many thanks for the update. Thank heavens we had y'all there, together, over a score of years.🪘

Southerners were notably more nonchalant in their reactions than other Americans.

I miss my city. I am making it a priority to see this group next year!❤❤

Omg The . Mardi Gras Indian suits are absolutely beautiful 🪶💙✊🏾

This history should be shown to every ADOS in America! Skull and Bones forever! Gentrify...bye, bye!!!

These are the traditions black pro athletes need to pour millions into to preserve!

Fascinating NOLA cross-cultural-racial expression... from the vantage point of personal 'adornment.'

Great history

i love learning about these thing thank you for making this

The original mascot for ULL (USL) was the bull dog. The switch to the Ragin Cajuns might have something to do with the Cajun culture revival?

Wow!! This is so interesting! What year was the courthouse built?

Seems like half of them don’t care.

I was a little kid in Australia and I remember it well. I was with my father at a local store and he ran into a neighbour who told him that President Kennedy had been assassinated. Even though I was very young I could tell they were shocked. At school we had the newspaper reports pinned up on the classroom notice board. I've also never forgotten the film footage of that day. It was tragic news. 🇦🇺

These are not gangs. They are tribes.

It's so disgusting how everyone in this video is ICE COLD!!

Geez. Dead people would have had more emotion than these people.

What kind of a person? A jew.

*_The politeness, accent, power of analysis and kindness of the old people are very impressive. I watched a few interview videos shot in the 1950s and 1960s. Let me say this much. The American people today are much more immoral, rude, corrupt and ruined. Alcoholism, drug addiction, homosexual culture, and a complete departure from Christianity have destroyed American society. It's truly unbelievable. Very few people are aware of this fact. When religion and morality are lost, societies decay. The concept of family disappeared and American society collapsed. The same goes for Europe. Also for some other countries._*

Sad still going on

Interesting video

my reaction is the life is goes on
