The first Redbone Gathering, sponsored by the Redbone Heritage Association, will be held this weekend in Alexandria, Louisiana. You can read about it at the Melungeon Heritage Association web site, http://www.melungeon.org.
The Redbones are a mixed race Louisiana group similar to Melungeons and some think there make actually be a connection between them -- certainly they have similar experiences. Brent Kennedy and Wayne Winkler will be in attendance and make presentations; I hope one or both of them will report back to us when they return.
