Class 30 of Operation Understanding DC (OUDC)'s first stop on their Civil Rights Summer Journey was to celebrate Juneteenth in Congo Square in New Orleans. The Wild Tchoupitoulas were the featured performers, a legendary NOLA band.

Klezmer | from the vaults 1999-2001

 I recently scanned a batch of my negatives from my archives depicting klezmer musicians circa 1999 to 2001. Many were made at KlezKamp 1999 and 2000 in the Catskills and New Jersey, one in Florida, others at a range of venues mostly in the Washington DC area. These pictures have not been seen before in any format.
