Mr. Fred Parker #7wardSanta #chocolateSanta #NewOrleansSanta People speak much about legends but this man is truly A LEGEND!!! The legacy he leaves behind is one of beautiful purpose. I was a little girl black girl going to a black school in a black city so this was the Santa Claus I took school’s Christmas pictures with. All my cousins that went to school in the city has christmas pics with 7th ward Santa… all my friends and their children. He served as New Orleans’ Santa for 3 generations. He passed on yesterday, may his deserving soul rest well, and believe me baybay! If it wasn’t for covid 19 the people would have been second lining thru the streets. I want to honor him and give my condolences to his family, friends and the city of New Orleans, as I sit here in New Orleans on the back porch in the 7th ward waiting for the rain that’s soon to fall. Thank you Mr. Fred Parker. 🙏🏾 I pray you knew you were appreciated.
