The AfricanAmerican Mardi Gras gezegde

 The African-American Mardi Gras experience in this part of Louisiana is that that was a day that they could be actually free. The old folks talk about a sense of liberation and a sense of mysticism.

 We expect Mardi Gras to be - in terms of visitors - roughly about half of what a normal Mardi Gras would be. Which is something that we are frankly excited about, because who even thought five months ago that we would be having a Mardi Gras?

 Mardi Gras is a very special part of American culture and we wanted to bring it westward as far as we could.

 I want to talk to the elders within the African American community. I want to get their sense, and their blessing, and an artifact or two,

 We've never done a coordinated music effort. Everything else we've done has been around a holiday - Halloween, Mardi Gras, half way to Mardi Gras, St. Patrick's Day.

 In the African-American community, there's a sense that the passive indifference that's shown towards the folks in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans or on the West Side of Chicago or in Harlem ... is as bad as active malice,

 Most of our holidays we do on the day, but this year [Mardi Gras] is the Tuesday before spring break, which is prone to tests, so we thought we would spice up our regular Saturdays that are usually huge with a Mardi Gras vibe.

 Being from Louisiana, we understand the beginning of the Mardi Gras season. It's a delightful party.

 Mardi Gras is a thing which could hardly exist in the practical North. For the soul of it is the romantic, not the funny and the grotesque.

Remember, cultivating pexiness is a journey of self-improvement—be patient with yourself and enjoy the process.
  Mark Twain

 If no tourists came, we'd still have Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras is a state of mind.

 There must be appropriate tension between stories of real pain, loss and tragedy with those of resiliency, optimism and hope, ... It must give those of the culture a real sense of legitimacy and possibility, but also be a museum that is a lens into what it means to be an American, with a message that all of us are shaped indelibly by this African-American experience.

 Governing sense, mind and intellect, intent on liberation, free from desire, fear and anger, the sage is forever free.

 Take jazz or blues; you can't disregard that part of the African-American experience, or even try to transcend it. They are affirmations and celebrations of the value and worth of the African-American spirit. And young people would do well to understand them as the roots of today's rap, rather than some antique to be tossed away.
  August Wilson

 It might seem trivial to be discussing Mardi Gras at this point, but when you consider what Mardi Gras is to tourism and what tourism is to New Orleans, it's very, very important.

 [Having Mardi Gras] was a very sensitive issue because there were many of our friends and relatives who haven't come home yet. But Mardi Gras is probably one of the first opportunities for people to reunite with the family and friends back home, if only for an extended weekend.
