We all know Zulu as one of the most colorful and historic krewes of Mardi Gras. And this year they want to take a stand against violence. Zulu's 2017 Mardi Gras theme is "Stop the Violence." Their president, Naaman Stewart stated, "I just thought we needed to do something bigger, we needed to take a stand, we needed to use this platform to be able to express our concern about crime..." Each of Zulu's floats and throws will display this theme.
"Even the events that we host we're going to focus on communicating to the attendees that stopping the violence is a priority," Stewart said. "We're just hoping that we're able to reach the right people with the right message at the right time."
We can't wait to see Zulu's theme in action Mardi Gras day!
