The debate over the removal of 4 Confederate-era monuments has stewed in #NewOrleans for nearly 2 years. And things haven’t subsided with the removal of the statue of #RobertELee, which was plucked off its pedestal a week ago.

Cherice Harrison-Nelson, who was photographed by @misterwidmer, is Big Queen of the Guardians of the Flame, one of the city’s Mardi Gras Indian tribes, who wear elaborately beaded and feathered suits sewn by hand. Last year, she made a suit to commemorate her enslaved great-great-grandfather. “His name was Madison,” she told @ニューヨーク・タイムズ recently. “He was only 11 years old when he was stolen from his mother and his father … Despite all of the atrocities perpetuated against this child, he lived to be an elder. Because of that, I am here. When the crane lifted Lee off his pedestal, I exhaled. I thought: ‘It’s about time. It’s about time.’” Visit the link in our profile to read 4 more stories.
