Description
Two riders in the Krewe of Tucks parade sparked outrage by dangling Black Barbie-like dolls from beads, evoking painful racist imagery. The dolls were meant as parade throws but were permanently banned after the incident. The display deeply affected a Houston family celebrating a young girls birthday, who had to explain racism to her. City leaders condemned the act, emphasizing New Orleans commitment to respect and inclusion. The krewe apologized, and the incident serves as a reminder that the work for true inclusion continues.
