The Southern History conference will feature labor history and culture walks on October 9 & 10 in New Orleans. This hidden history will be exposed.

There will be a labor history walk of New Orleans in October

April is Jazz Appreciation Month, and, yes, there are still brass bands playing in the
streets of New Orleans, marching in traditional jazz funerals and second line parades
through the back-a-town neighborhoods and main thoroughfares of the city.
And yes, there are still younger musicians coming up through the tradition, learning the
horn parts to “Liza Jane” and “Closer Walk with Thee,” and beating the cymbal with a bent
coat hanger or screwdriver.
