On May 13, 1888, slavery was abolished in Brazil. One can compare dates for this throughout the Americas, and it is instructive.
In news of my own, less important emancipation of which this blog is an instrument, I might be adjusting at last to Maringouin. This is very interesting since I have been here a rather long time, and the change is unplanned.
The reasons for it include some administrative changes at work and in the municipal government, both of make us more progressive. Maringouin also looks better the worse New Orleans gets, a situation I mourn but which makes me less homesick.
Here, then, is an unusual and beautiful scene, performed for the spirits.
Axé.
