We are familiar with today originated in the eighteen hundreds so until around eighteen fifty six. The festivities were confined to the roman catholic creole community. So there are a few parades.

A little deeper into it great so the very first mardi gras was celebrated in in america. The very okay. So i'm just kind of more focusing that right at this moment on okay. It was not celebrated in louisiana but in alabama in sixteen ninety nine. Oh so like you were saying. It's been around for so many years. Yeah so at that. Point in sixteen ninety nine was when a french canadian. Explorer named pierre de ville de ville landed on the shores of alabama on fat tuesday. Okay so he knew. His countrymen were celebrating mardi gras back home. Oh so he named the location where he landed. Point do mardi gras o. N. held to celebrate. Said he's won't go.

Okay yeah yes. I'm not from gotta i feel like i'm i feel like i could be close on that one. Yep okay so he. They had a little celebration. They are and then a few years later french so in settlers and more mass at the site that he had named point do mardi gras on to celebrate fat tuesday. okay was in the newly founded city of mobile.

Its way to new orleans new orleans new orleans new orleans when the capital of french of the french louisiana territory was moved from mobile to new orleans in seventeen eighteen. So you go to the louisiana territory in our westward so it was prior to you. Know they are agreeing that deal. Yeah gotten squared away yet. They were there so they hid moods and then now so then. The celebration was moved to what was then. Then he'd capital so the term mardi gras first celebration fat tuesday Just what we talked about And so in other countries they call it cari ball. Which i feel kinda silly carnival carnival. It's more fun. I feel a little more international bets. Weights normally said yeah we have pronounced. Yeah exactly so carneval may or may not have written paganism so there some pagan rituals that owns gonna talk about you can kind of see where perhaps some of the more raucous hearts of mardi gras might be taken from here in Still a mardi gras his story. In a named arthur handy wrote quote many see a relationship to the ancient tribal rituals of fertility that welcomed the arrival of spring a possible ancestor celebration lupercalia. Which was a circus like. Orgy held in mid february in rome. The early church fathers. This is kinda what you were touching on to. He lies that it was impossible to get their converts to divorce from pagan customs entirely So they decided to redirect them a little bit allow for this to happen but directing them towards christian channels. So kind of say okay. Fine do it. But then afterwards you've got to celebrate lent but this must've been this particular. Lupercalia must have been pretty horrifying to the to the church. Because it's pretty crazy so lupercalia so bar Believe it's like a latin root for wolf. Okay right so do you. Degree the harry potter books. Yeah so lupin yeah.

Absolutely example of also like it's interesting and one of my classes that are taking we're talking about like food as more ritualistic and emotional so eating can be spiritual you can be. You know practicing your traditions as a culture when you're eating or celebrating a holiday that especial it through food you know when you're like in harmony with traditions that are familiar you're honoring your honoring your ancestors you're sharing your history you're experiencing tradition..

"Marty Gras parades in New Orleans have been canceled because of the pandemic. But creative New Orlean Ian's are hiring Mardi Gras artists to decorate their homes is floats. These house floats are being decorated with giant flowers, birds, gestures and jazz instruments, all to evoke the field of New Orleans. The crew of red beans of Mardi Gras Parade organization has taken the household idea further with the higher a Mardi Gras artist initiative, and so far they've raised a quarter of a million dollars to fund the decoration of 24 Mardi Gras house floats. And that money supports both Mardi Gras artists and elder culture bears. Devinda Wolf is the founder of the crew of Red Beans joins us from Where else? New Orleans. Thanks so much for being with us. It's a pleasure. Thanks for having me tell us more about the higher our Mardi Gras artist program. Well. When the city of New Orleans canceled the parades, it basically caused a chain reaction of layoffs and a friend of mine is a Mardi Gras artist herself, Caroline Thomas, and she reached out to me and said, Look, what if we crowd funded to basically recreate those lost jobs? We created giant Mardi Gras float building company out of thin air. And we've been able to essentially create jobs for 45 really talented artists. It's a great opportunity to pay them for their talent, but really for them to show the people of New Orleans their skills and also to inspire our city as we struggle through this most challenging Mardi Gras. I'm sorry if this sounds naive, but house float doesn't float, right? Ah house flowed is a brand new invention brought to you by the people of New Orleans. Normally, our biggest parades include floats. And what we've done is just taking that idea and installed it onto someone's home. This is the way that New Orleanians air channeling all of their carnival spirit. This year. The House floats are really a combination of wooden and paper machine elements that are artists have created and we have an installation team of carpenters that put it all on the house. And they're beautiful. What happened to the house floats after Mardi Gras. We're going to actually exhibit them in the Contemporary Art Center of New Orleans and then auction off each individual piece to raise more money for our feed the second line initiative, which is our attempt to basically create a safety net for New Orleans culture. Let me ask this because they're brother. Donations will also support culture bearers, which is a term from Anthropologie, who does that include? Where talking about musicians, black masking Indians, baby dolls, second lines, and what we're attempting to do is create a safety net for these people because we recognize that it's the people that make our culture In our first year of feed. The second line we were able to raise basically $300,000 worth of jobs were also able to buy $130,000 worth of groceries in 2020, and every time that we do this what we're really doing is spreading love and saying Thank you for all the years of culture that you created because that's what really makes New Orleans a special place. Mm. There's going to be a bittersweet Marty grow. Yeah. You know, I'm a parade organizer. And normally I spend all my year and energy looking forward and preparing for my parade. And obviously I can't do that this year, but I think Years from now we're gonna look back at this Mardi Gras and recognize that it was one of the most meaningful and I think even though it's a different carnival, it's still going to be amazing Mardi Gras Kevin The Wolf is founder of the crew of Red Beans in Of course, New Orleans.

The Years (plural) Without A Christmas
"Of christmas it is indulgence. Christmas has long been time to break out the good booze and gorge yourself on sweet desserts made with expensive imported spices. To say nothing of the gift giving you know who didn't like all of those things oliver cromwell when he and his puritan forces took over england in sixteen forty five. They vowed to do away with decadence and went full. Alan rickman sheriff of nottingham and cancelled. Christmas shops were ordered to stay open on december. Twenty fifth and soldiers patrolled the streets with orders to seize any and all food. They found being prepared for a feast. It would take no less than restoring a king to the throne in this case. Charles the second to get christmas back. Puritans weren't exclusive to their native england and a bunch of them thought the spoiled beauty of the new world could really use some severe self-denial the puritans we refer to as pilgrims and about whom many myths were dispelled in. Our recent thanksgiving episode were even more orthodox in their puritanism than cromwell bonus fact that parallels the split between the amish and the mennonites. The amish broke off because the mennonites weren't strict enough since the puritans were among the first europeans to establish themselves in what would become america celebrating. Christmas was not a thing. It wasn't simply that they didn't celebrate it themselves. They didn't want anyone to celebrate the holiday. They had dubbed fools tied as an england shops and schools were expected to be open though. Interestingly churches were ordered to be closed on christmas one of the two days a year when even the laziest christian can be bothered to turn up. It was more than the frivolity and gluttony that they minded they viewed it as not properly christian. Puritans followed the bible very strictly. If something wasn't in the bible like taking any day for rest other than a sunday it might as well have come straight from the devil that would include the idea of resting on the day that jesus was born but since the bible also doesn't specify what day that is no big loss s historian stephen this inbound explains puritans were fond of saying that if god had intended for the anniversary of the city to be observed he would surely have given some indication as to when that anniversary occurred. The date of december twenty fifth wasn't officially the mass of christ until the fourth century. When pope julius the first subsumed the roman festival of saturnalia into a christian celebration. Which gave us some of our most enduring traditions like holly in candles. Puritans were also not keen on the papacy so they didn't care if it was official for twenty two years from sixteen fifty nine to sixteen eighty one. The celebration of christmas was actually outlawed. In the massachusetts bay colony the law went into effect one year after the brits had gotten their christmas restored by well the restoration the laws stated that in order to prevent disorders to the great dishonour of god and offensive others. Anyone found celebrating the holiday. Either by forbearing of labor feasting or any other way would be find a hefty five shillings on one christmas day. Plymouth governor william bradford noticed some people playing an old equivalent of baseball and ordered them all to get back to work. Now would be an appropriate time. If i make an aside and i may because it's my show to remind people that religious freedom is when you say that's against my religion. I can't do it but religious freedom does not mean that's against my religion. You can't do it. Even after the ban on christmas was repealed in sixteen. Eighty one staunch puritans still fought against christmas celebrations for decades in sixteen eighty six. The newly appointed governor of the dominion of new england closed shops on christmas day and sponsored a holiday service. This idea was unpopular enough with enough people. That soldiers had to accompany the governor to church. Those sorts of protests of christmas would continue but their focus would shift from celebrating at all to the way in which it was celebrated and what a way it was. We aren't talking about a family sing. Song and three helpings of pie or even old timey whistling colonial celebrations of christmas looked more like mardi gras mashed with halloween. If it took place during spring break drunken revellers take to the streets wearing scary masks or dressed like animals singing boisterously and demanding food drink and money under threat of violence ad in the ancient pagan roots of those practices. And we see that. The puritans had quite a lot to get their noses out of joint about boston minister. Cotton mather preached to his congregation more than thirty years. After the law's repeal the feast of christ's nativity is spent in reveling dicing carding masking. And in all licentious liberty by mad mirth by long eating by hard-drinking i- lewd gaming await. Those are meant to be bad things. After the american revolution or the kerfuffle of ungrateful colonials as the british call at surreal thing. You don't have to google it. Just trust me. English customs fell out of favor and since celebrating. Christmas had come over from england. It began to peter out to. It wasn't even declared a federal holiday until after the civil war in eighteen seventy. It was around that time that americans. Reinvented christmas and it changed from a raucous pagan carnival. Holiday into a family centered. Day of nostalgia nostalgia used to be considered a mental illness by the way. But that's a story for another day. So why the shift. The early nineteenth century was a period of class conflict high employment and of rioting by the lower classes that tended to come to a head around christmastime one such christmas riot in eighteen twenty eight moved the newark city council to institute. The city's first police force in response. This motivated certain members of the upper class to change the way. People viewed christmas literary figures like washington irving the man who helped co defy the until recently launched view of christopher columbus in eighteen nineteen. Urban wrote the sketch book of geoffrey crayon gent a series of stories about the celebration of christmas in an english manor house wherein the rich person invites pour into his home and the two classes of people get along swimmingly and celebrate with quote ancient customs. As nice as that is it's worth noting that the details of the books revelry don't parallel any celebration. We know of irving actually attending and seems to have been completely imagined. It's the season of giving and you

How Did Juneteenth Get Started?
"Every year on June nineteenth, millions of people across America. Come together to celebrate June eighteenth with parties parades, prayer, breakfast and golf tournaments, cookouts and music. The holiday is now officially recognized in forty seven states plus Washington DC though it hasn't been made a national holiday yet, despite having been around for more than one hundred and fifty years. We spoke with Paula Austin a professor of African American Studies and History at Boston University. She said You'd be surprised. There are many students who get to my class, and they sort of never learned about the history of enslavement. They've never learned about the civil rights movement. I think I've had students who because of where they're from, or their families know about June eighteenth, and of actually participated in the celebrations, but most students come, and they don't know. But let's go back to the beginning on June nineteenth eighteen, sixty, five more than two months after confederate general Robert e Lee surrendered to ulysses s grant at APP Maddix which all, but ended the civil war, a US army officer by the name of Major General Gordon Granger. In Huston Texas with two momentous announcements, the end of the civil war, and with it the end to slavery. Nobody is quite sure why it took so long for news of summation to reach Texas several stories have been told throughout the years though none has ever been confirmed including one of an earlier messenger who was killed on his way to Texas to tell the news of freedom. Others believe that some enslavers truth, but simply continued going about business as usual. The most likely is simply that there were not enough troops to enforce the emancipation proclamation whether enslaved people knew about it or not, so things remained status quo. That is until Major General. Grainger showed up. After granger's announcement, some of the two hundred fifty thousand freed people in Texas, immediately left for the promise of true freedom in the north, while others traveled to rejoin family members one formerly enslaved person, Molly Herrell said in the slave narratives of Texas. We all walked down the road singing shouting to beat the band. Others stayed defined pain work in the fields elsewhere. That day marks what is now often called lack independence day, or the fourth of July. It's the American celebration of freedom from slavery. June teen was first observed in Texas in eighteen, sixty six. It wasn't officially recognized as a holiday in any state until Texas did so in Nineteen, seventy nine. Since then only North Dakota South Dakota and Hawaii have declared a holiday. In recent years both the US House of Representatives and the US Senate have formally recognized June nineteenth as June, tenth Independence Day. Various movements to grant the day status is a national holiday are ongoing. US Senator Cory Booker said in two thousand eighteen. On this day we must confront ugly parts of our history and honor the slaves who suffered and died under a repressive regime. We must also pay tribute to all those who had the strength and conviction to fight to end slavery and keep our Union together. June teeth independence. Day is also an important moment to recognize how far we've come and take note of how far we have yet to go. Certainly during the original June eighteenth, there was still a lot of work to be done. It came just months after the civil war ended and two years after the emancipation proclamation was signed by President Abraham Lincoln the Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution, which abolished slavery, had been passed by Congress was well on its way to being ratified by the states, but the fourteenth and fifteenth guaranteeing equal protection and the right to vote to all citizens, regardless of skin color were still a couple years off. And not all enslaved people in Texas were immediately freed some held by defiant plantation owners were not emancipated until much later, some formerly enslaved people who tried to leave historical reports show were tracked down and killed. Many more stepped into a future of poverty, fear and uncertainty. Austin suggests that many Americans ignorance about June eighteenth stems from a disinclination to completely face the country's past slavery, and it's far reaching and continuing aftermath. Still? June eighteenth has persevered. Its observance has waned through the years under the oppression of Jim Crow laws and attitudes, but the festivities that began in Texas eventually spread to more states and the idea of commemorating block independence picked up through the civil rights era of the nineteen sixties, and the parties continued today. Austin, said the kinds of celebrations that I've seen and been a part of have been incredibly wonderful there about black culture there about black history there about the resistance and the resilience of the black community. Several years before grainger made his do nineteenth declaration in Galveston famed American Orator Frederick Douglass himself formerly enslaved, spoke to an abolitionist group in New York about the fourth of July. As being dave independence, and how it didn't fit for all Americans, he said what the American slave is your fourth of July I answer a day that reveals to him more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. Opel Lee a former schoolteacher counselor in Fort Worth. Texas has been instrumental in trying to get June. Tenth recognized as a national, holiday. This year she'll walk from the Fort Worth Convention Center to the will. Rogers Coliseum, leading a caravan, urging people to sign a petition for the cause leave who is ninety three years old has been part of the Fort Worth June eighteenth festivities for more than forty years. Last year, it's as important as the fourth of July. In fact I dream some day. They celebrate from the nineteenth to the fourth like they do Mardi Gras. I haven't dreamed as large as the Rose Bowl or the macy's parade, but I'm getting there. To those who observed June eighteenth despite its shaky beginnings, and it's still unfulfilled pledge the day still holds the promise of freedom, independence, equality, ideas, and ideals always celebrating.
