Title
Baby Doll maskers
Subject
Carol Harris, founder of N’awlins D’awlins Baby Dolls, and Janice Kimble, founder of the Tremé Baby Dolls and facilitator of the Baby Doll Sisterhood, clasp hands at the funeral of Harris’s mother, Mary “Grams” Braud Harris, and aunt Clarice “Reecie” Braud Willis. The Baby Dolls of New Orleans rally when one of their members needs support. Their masking tradition thrives through year-round activities, such as monthly birthday celebrations, their Mardi Gras ball, the Blessing of the Street on Mardi Gras, and a Juneteenth commemoration.
