Question
Second Line
Answer
Second lining has been called "the quintessential New Orleans art form – a jazz funeral without a body.” Historically, the African-American community began second lines as neighborhood celebrations. The neighborhood organizations offered social aid to freed slaves, such as loans and insurance, and used the second-lines as a form of advertising. Second lines were also used to honor members who died in their community, which launched the idea of second lines at funerals. Today, second lines celebrate the major milestones of life. In a wedding, the first line consists of the band, bride, and groom. The second line is where you come in! The guests and passersby are welcome to join in the parade.
