The weather was parade-perfect on Fat Tuesday, February 25, for the annual Krewe of Real People: The Next Generation Mardi Gras parade. It's the coast's only predominantly African-American parade. This year's King and Queen, Dr. Myron Labat and Dr. Cherie Labat, presided over the festivities.
Reigning as queen of the 100 Women (of 100 Men Hall) group was Mariah Dedeaux. Mariah's Mardi Gras experience was marred earlier in the season when she was singled out for a racist throw, in an incident that made national news. 100 Women founder Rachel Dangermond said it was an honor to have Dedeaux as queen for the group's inaugural march. "Mariah is poised, gracious and has a vibrant spirit." As always, the parade was a fantastic finale for the Gulf Coast Carnival season, providing a wonderful time for both participants and spectators. - photos by Brenda Comer |
