And Mark reflects on America’s tragic relationship with guns, violence, the color line, and the moral courage and witnessing of his blood sister Deborah “Big Red” Cotton and how they are forever tied together after being shot at the same second line parade in New Orleans, in what was the worst mass shooting in that great city’s modern history.
