Why is it that when it comes to things cultural we never try to get to the root of FACTS??? we gloss over and paste over that which sounds good for the time. CARLOS LEZAMA was not the founder of the west indian carnival in NY. The late old master Rufus Goring from Barataria was the man who can be credited with starting it in Harlem then Lezama broke away from Rufus and started up in Bklyn 36 years ago. Rufus Goring is the founder of the modern carnival in NY. His niece (about 85 years old) is alive and well living on clarendon and 29th st. check her for info. Thanks paddy corea
