Last week I went to see with a friend a documentary about the segregated Mardi Gras in Mobile, Alabama -- an excellent movie everyone should see.
Anyhow, when we got off the bus, I saw this elderly black gentleman who I had seen at the theater get off at our stop, so I said hello and asked him what he thought of the movie.
"Well," he was like, "I'm originally from New Orleans and I always wanted to go see Mobile's Mardi Gras, so this was my chance.
"Besides that, the movie had one flaw. They showed the white trains [of the Mardi Gras queens] and how ornate they were, and we all know the black trains weren't as elaborate, but they never showed them, and I wanted to see the difference for myself."
