Shouters & Rockers

Description

Early on the morning of June 21, 2024, a coach bus drove down a rural, two-lane along the levees of the Mississippi River as it winds through St. John the Baptist Parish. The bus slowed to a stop, then turned off LA Highway 18 and drove back into the parking lot of the old Whitney Plantation in Edgard, Louisiana. The coach had left New Orleans about an hour earlier carrying the Gullah Geechee Ring Shouters & the Winnsboro Easter Rock Ensemble. This is the story of the historic meeting of these two groups.
