Cover of a short story collection (BAYOU FOLK) shows a white woman with long red hair. She sits at a dressing table with two candles, a bottle of perfume, and items of jewelry. It's not clear if she is gazing at her reflection in the mirror, or some point out of frame.
"Zoraïde had seen le beau Mézor dance the Bamboula in #CongoSquare. That was a sight to hold one rooted to the ground. Mézor was as straight as a cypress-tree and as proud looking as a king. His body, bare to the waist, was like a column of ebony and it glistened like oil."
~Kate Chopin

This is an excerpt from a lecture that I did a little over a year ago. The full presentation is about an hour long. Hopefully someone will post it in full context. #Jazz #Oakland #CongoSquare #SanFrancisco Note: I never use the spelling "Afro-Futurism". The spelling that I coined is "Afrifuturism".

If I were in charge of halftime and the biggest musical stage … in the birthplace of #Jazz, I’d call on the #Nevilles, #Batiste, and #Marsalis families.
Could have a killer mini #JazzFest.
Or #MardiGras.
Love the culture and #NOLA vibe.
Feel like the #NFL let me down. 💜💛💚

And as soon as they all leave the #Superbowl they are all headed over to family friendly #BourbonStreet to see how babies are made. Next you hit up the #FrenchQuarter and #CongoSquare to see where the slaves were auctioned and those same slaves played music and danced. You can't make this stuff up.
