Veiled Prophet Parade | Living St. Louis

Living St. Louis Producers Jim Kirchherr and Patrick Murphy get a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the planning of the annual Veiled Prophet Parade. Since 1878, the VP parade has featured elaborate, imaginative and colorful floats that are created by a staff of some 1,500 talented artists and craftsmen.

Used to go to the parade all the time as a kid, but I never knew what the group represented.

it's a farse, and history is changed, but whatever, people want to believe everything is racist today.

Listening to white supremacy talk about itself and it's past so reverently is honestly chilling.

A racist/ mardi gras lite parade. Who knows what it all means. I watched it as a child and I know it was a racist parade

[@jackson5116]

Harris Stowe is a racist college, and that's accepted to be racists toward whites, what's your point? Blacks are racist toward whites, and whites toward blacks, you won't stop racism.

New Orleans Mardi Gras wannabees.
