Today we are celebrating Black History Month and Mardi Gras with a look at a history of the black Mardi Gras Indians.
The Mardi Gras Indians are black carnival revelers in Louisiana who dress up for Mardi Gras in suits influenced by Native American ceremonial wear. These suits can weigh upwards of 100 pounds and are composed of beads, feathers, and sequins. The beadwork is done entirely by hand and some of these elaborate suits are displayed in museums around the country.
This month the Browsing Shelf next to the Reference Desk is a Little Free Library with free books. There are Urban Fiction/Street Lit and books by John Grisham, Tom Clancy, W.E.B. Griffin, and Clive Cussler.
Little Free Libraries are located on campus in Griffin Hall outside of Room 131 and in Agnes Edwards next to the Louisiana Educate Program Center.
