KINDERGARTEN PARADE
by William & Marc

Interview: Ms. Kroboth

Who: Brandon J. - fish mask, Destiny - shark mask, Nichole - frog mask, Brandon T. -parrot mask

What the parade was about:

The parade was about blacks and whites. At that time blacks were slaves. The kindergartens did a parade to celebrate how the blacks felt. The parade went from 8:00 to 2:00 in the morning.

Back then the blacks called themselves Bahamans. They had lots of music, which they danced to. In Canada people call the "Junk Anew" Boxing Day.

This holiday is in the English tradition. It happens every year after Christmas. The main island is Nassau which has the biggest JUNK ANEW PARADE.
