NOLA 2013 - Mardi gras - The Krew Zulu Parad
Early in 1909, a group of laborers who had organized a club named 'The Tramps' went to the Pythian Theater to see a musical comedy performed by the Smart Set. The comedy included a skit entitled, 'There Never Was and Never Will Be a King Like Me,' about the Zulu Tribe.
That is how Zulu began, as the many stories go...
Years of extensive research by Zulu's staff of historians seem to indicate that Zulu's beginning was much more complicated than that. The earliest signs of organization came from the fact that the majority of these men belonged to a Benevolent Aid Society. Benevolent Societies were the first forms of insurance in the Black community where, for a small amount of dues, members received financial help when sick or financial aid when burying deceased members.
Conversations and interviews with older members also indicate that in that era the city was divided into wards, and each ward had its own group or 'Club.' The Tramps were one such group. After seeing the skit, they retired to their meeting place (a room in the rear of a restaurant/bar in the 1100 block of Perdido Street), and emerged as Zulus. This group was probably made up of members from the Tramps, the Benevolent Aid Society and other ward-based groups.
While the 'Group' marched in Mardi Gras as early as 1901, their first appearance as Zulus came in 1909, with William Story as King.
The group wore raggedy pants, and had a Jubilee-singing quartet in front of and behind King Story. His costume of 'lard can' crown and 'banana stalk' scepter has been well-documented. The Kings following William Story (William Crawford - 1910, Peter Williams - 1912, and Henry Harris - 1914) were similarly attired.
1915 heralded the first use of floats, constructed on a spring wagon, using dry good boxes. The float was decorated with palmetto leaves and moss and carried four Dukes along with the King. That humble beginning gave rise to the lavish floats we see in the Zulu parade today.

REVEALED: Varun Dhawan to play laborer in YRF’s Sui Dhaaga
While he is all set for his twin role debut in Judwaa 2, Varun Dhawan will soon start prepping for his next, Yash Raj Films’ Sui Dhaaga. Earlier we had reported that for the first time ever Varun will be paired opposite Anushka Sharma for a forthcoming film titled Sui Dhaaga and now it is being said that the actor will be seen in the role of a labourer in the film.
From what we hear, Varun Dhawan will be seen in the role of a hired help in the film which is is directed by Dum Laga Ke Haisha fame Sharat Katariya. On the other hand, details of Anushka Sharma’s role in the film are yet to be revealed. The film aims to bring forth the condition of local cottage industries and revolves around dignity of labour among others. Earlier, Varun had mentioned that the film endorses the mantra of ‘Made of India’ and that it is relevant story even in today’s times. Producer Maneesh Sharma of YRF too had stated that the film has its roots in the heart of India and that it reflects the passion that runs through the veins of every Indian.
Sui Dhaaga is currently in its initial stage and is slated to go on floor in January next year. Although Varun Dhawan has previously played many roles, this will be the first time where the actor will be seen in such a character of a poor labourer.
As for other films, post the Jab Harry Met Sejal debacle, Anushka Sharma is now focusing on her production Pari which also features her in the lead role. She will also be seen in Aanand L. Rai’s next starring Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif. Whereas Varun Dhawan has kick started the promotions of Judwaa 2 along with co-stars Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu in lead roles since the film is only few weeks away from its release.

A group of Pakistani laborers rest after a long day constructing the Emirates Palace - a 3 billion dollar hotel into which they will not be allowed following its completion.
Stories of men having to dust off enough gold flake from their pants to feed their families for weeks at the end of the day during construction are common.
It's difficult to tell the story of these men in a way that resonates with my friends and co-workers in the west, but this photo has always helped.

John Dean of 706 Elizabeth Street was a laborer for B.C. Moreno T. Dean was a laborer for B.C. Moreno, City of Key West Engineer.
This guy was sorting and cleaning plastic sheets on the street by a construction site very early in the morning -- a wise move since daytime temperatures could bake one's brains.
Often, when I look at this man, I ask myself what kind of life in retirement I might have.

Two weeks in NOLA for the mardi gras 2017
Early in 1909, a group of laborers who had organized a club named 'The Tramps' went to the Pythian Theater to see a musical comedy performed by the Smart Set. The comedy included a skit entitled, 'There Never Was and Never Will Be a King Like Me,' about the Zulu Tribe.
That is how Zulu began, as the many stories go...
Years of extensive research by Zulu's staff of historians seem to indicate that Zulu's beginning was much more complicated than that. The earliest signs of organization came from the fact that the majority of these men belonged to a Benevolent Aid Society. Benevolent Societies were the first forms of insurance in the Black community where, for a small amount of dues, members received financial help when sick or financial aid when burying deceased members.
Conversations and interviews with older members also indicate that in that era the city was divided into wards, and each ward had its own group or 'Club.' The Tramps were one such group. After seeing the skit, they retired to their meeting place (a room in the rear of a restaurant/bar in the 1100 block of Perdido Street), and emerged as Zulus. This group was probably made up of members from the Tramps, the Benevolent Aid Society and other ward-based groups.
While the 'Group' marched in Mardi Gras as early as 1901, their first appearance as Zulus came in 1909, with William Story as King.
The group wore raggedy pants, and had a Jubilee-singing quartet in front of and behind King Story. His costume of 'lard can' crown and 'banana stalk' scepter has been well-documented. The Kings following William Story (William Crawford - 1910, Peter Williams - 1912, and Henry Harris - 1914) were similarly attired.
1915 heralded the first use of floats, constructed on a spring wagon, using dry good boxes. The float was decorated with palmetto leaves and moss and carried four Dukes along with the King. That humble beginning gave rise to the lavish floats we see in the Zulu parade today.
Zulu's 2017 Mardi Gras theme is 'Stop the Violence'
The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Matthew 11:37b, 38

Travel to NOLA - February 2024 - Krewe Of Zulu
Early in 1909, a group of laborers in a club named ?The Tramps? went to the Pythian Theater to see a musical comedy that included a skit entitled, 'There Never Was and Never Will Be a King Like Me' about the Zulu Tribe. According to legend, after seeing the skit, they retired to their meeting place (a room in the rear of a restaurant/bar in the 1100 block of Perdido Street), and emerged as Zulus. The rest, as they say, is history. Years of extensive research by Zulu's staff of historians, however, seem to indicate that Zulu's beginning was much more complicated than that.
Conversations and interviews with older members indicate that, back in the day, the city was divided into wards, and each ward had its own group or ?Club.? The Tramps were one such group. The group that founded Zulu was probably made up of both members from the Tramps and other ward-based groups and members of a Benevolent Aid Society. Benevolent Societies were the first forms of insurance in the Black community. For a small amount of dues, members received financial help when they got sick or there was a funeral to pay for.
While the men marched in Mardi Gras as early as 1901, their first appearance as Zulus came in 1909, with William Story as King. The group wore raggedy pants, and had a Jubilee-singing quartet in front of and behind King Story. His costume of 'lard can' crown and 'banana stalk' scepter has been well-documented. The Kings following William Story in the early days were similarly attired.
The year 1915 heralded the first use of floats, constructed on a spring wagon, using dry good boxes. The float was decorated with palmetto leaves and moss and carried four Dukes along with the King. That humble beginning gave rise to the lavish floats we see in the Zulu parade today.
Today Zulu is famous for their coconut throw ? quite possibly the most coveted throw in all of Mardi Gras. Zulu?s honor guard is called the Soulful Warriors; and they have characters including Big Shot, Witch Doctor, Ambassador, Mayor, Province Prince, Governor and Mr. Big Stuff.
The most famous Krewe of Zulu king was Louis Armstrong who reigned in 1949.

Day laborers in Dhaka usually work in construction sites, factories, transportation, agriculture, or as rickshaw pullers. Their work is physically demanding and often involves long hours of labor in harsh conditions, including exposure to extreme weather, dust, and pollutants. work long hours in difficult conditions for low wages. Safety regulations may not always be enforced, leading to risks of injury or accidents, particularly in construction sites.
