Images of a second lined procession honoring the late Albert Morris Jr., chief of the North Side Skull and Bone Gang in Treme section of New Orleans on Tuesday. Morris died Monday. Morris is credited with keeping the “bones gang,” a group of largely African-American Mardi Gras revelers who wear skeleton costumes on Mardi Gras Day, alive when the tradition waned in the 80′s and 90′s. On Mardi Gras morning the bones gangs move through the neighborhoods telling people to “wake up.”
