James Scott and his remarkable Shrimp Boats African-American Yard Art




Lafitte, Louisiana is a short drive from New Orleans, but some of those New Orleans beads dripped down and landed in the yard of James P. Scott, at the time I met him a 70 year old man with short stature and a short cigar. I haven't been down since the levees broke, but I fear Mr. Scott and his boats would not have fared well even if they had they remained.
