Takin' It To The Streets host Action Jackson sits down with Spy Boy Timothy Washington of the 9th Ward Hunters Black Indians of Mardi Gras. They discuss the Spy Boy position; Juneteenth; the masking tradition; masking in the 1980s and 1990s; resurrecting the Indian tradition in the 9th Ward after the Vietnam War; creating suits with fish scales, acorns, crates, and egg cartons back in the day; and much more.
