Orange Mound Classic Parade

There's a cyclical nature to photographing in the city, covering the same events year after year. The Classic Parade, which coincides with the Southern Heritage Classic football game between Tennessee State and Jackson State, is my favorite to revisit. It's truly a community affair, and the residents of Orange Mound are always so open. I'm grateful to get to make pictures of some of the lovely people who help make up the unique and energetic character of the neighborhood.
