I remember years ago they toyed around the idea of having a black crawfish festival and a separate white crawfish festival.

Yep and there are many residents of BB, both black and white, that still refer to the black church down Main St. about a half mile from St. Bernard Catholic Church. Newcomers don't understand it...you just have to be from there to know that neither the blacks nor whites intend any type of racism in referring to it as the black church.
