That’s a popular symbol used on programs from minstrel shows. Tear it down!!!

I went check it out today. Looks good. They have a few other statues too. They kinda look like trees with Mardi Gras beads on the trunk and limbs

Looks like something that would be hanging from a rear-view mirror.

I love the Mardi Gras aspect of it. Don’t really care for the design, but much better than a woke design symbolizing black power.

I wonder how much money was 'spent' on this


5.5MM for all the art work. Private funds.

Don't think this is permanent, just a traveling art thing like the previous sculptures

Looks ghetto. The metal looks like it came out of a recycling bin.

Last I heard, they were still in the East in a scrap yard in a giant crate.

They're in a city warehouse on Chef Menteur Hwy.

So they say.

I was expecting a statue of Tay-Tay.
Very disappointed.
