House of Dance and Feathers

We visited the House of Dance and Feathers in the 9th Ward of New Orleans.

Selfie with Mr. Lewis

 

It’s in Ronald W. Lewis’s backyard — a shed full of memorabilia, books and photos from hist participation with the Mardi Gras Indians.

His book is for sale with stories and photos. He has a lot of stories to tell, about his family, losing his home, falling in love with beading intricate costumes for community parades.

 Call ahead to make an appointment.
