BLACK MEN OF LABOR 17TH ANNUAL LABOR DAY PARADE
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2010 3-7pm
Black Men of Labor Parade. Starts later which means cooler temps. Short manageable downtown route; traditional brass band music, old school style parade; family-oriented fun. Well...there’s always some blunt smoking and getting wet but you can’t fight city hall so...
Note: The route is the same as last year, so we're presuming the stops are too.

Note to self. Attend Second Line towards the beginning of the route. The purpose and form will be on display. The trouble will not have shown its ugly face. (We were within 50 ft. and 2 buildings- from the shooting location 5 minutes before it occurred. When the Second Line passed we walked to St. Claude to get a second view of was a largely disheveled group.)
