Hundreds of people danced behind an ash-gray horse that was pulling an empty metal casket to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans on Tuesday night (March 20). It was empty, but that didn't matter. To the people following it, it symbolized the passing of a man that touched them all, even though most never met him.
The second-line, put on by the Treme Sidewalk Steppers, was for Tom Benson, the billionaire owner of the New Orleans Saints who passed away last week.
Many people said they were thankful that he brought the Saints quickly back to the city after Hurricane Katrina.
