“Jazz in particular, Black American music has always tugged at my soul…I grew up partly in the Seventh Ward of New Orleans and partly in the Sixth Ward of New Orleans, and that’s where I was introduced to Black Masking Indians and Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs,” shares L. Kasimu Harris.  
Harris’s mother owned a floral shop on Broad and Ursuline, and he vividly remembers her closing the shop and allowing him to play his trumpet with the Second Line bands 🥁🎺📯.
Rooted in Black culture and community, his photography and videography exude Southern Blackness, social justice, and the possibilities of a better tomorrow 🌞.
