Corrected the #Wikipedia entry for Louisiana French #accordion pioneer Amédè Ardoin 🪗 to say he was Black #Creole rather than Cajun
Nobody had edited that page in years. But within a few hours somebody had gone and made him an “American” musician. With no mention of race or culture or division
Which may be better than mischaracterizing him. But I’m not sure if de-racializing people is the way forward 😞
It’s not my neighborhood so maybe I’ll let others go at it on there
