(CNN) No parades, limited gatherings and shuttered bars. A normally raucous Bourbon Street almost devoid of people. No sign of crowds who traveled far and wide from other places. And absolutely frigid weather on top of it all.
It doesn t sound like much of a Mardi Gras Day, does it? Beyond the imagination of anyone just a year ago, that s the reality on the ground in New Orleans in 2021.
City officials definitely did not want the holiday turning into a Covid-19 superspreader event. Please, I m begging you, please do not attempt any large gatherings, New Orleans Police Superintendent Shaun Ferguson said at a news conference last week.

A non-profit in the province of Quebec is celebrating three decades of “highlighting the journeys and success of Black communities, to build bridges with others.” The Round Table on Black History Month has unveiled a broad range of activities which will take place throughout the month of February 2021.
Because of the pandemic, the public will be invited to get to know Black culture in all its forms online. There will be shows, exhibitions, conferences and screenings.
“Yes, the pandemic has separated us but in other ways, we have never felt so connected through the goal of achieving equity and adequate representation in the various spheres of society,” noted Black History Month Coordinator Carla Beauvais. “A wind of change is blowing, and a global movement of solidarity drives this 30th edition of Black History Month.”
