West Indian Day Parade
BROOKLYN,
N.Y. -- For a few short hours on Labor Day morning, the toughest job in
New York just might belong to
Bill Howard.
That's because
Howard, the 70-year-old vice president of the West Indian Day Carnival Association (WIADCA), will again be the host for the
VIP breakfast before the city's annual West Indian American Day Parade. Like in past elections, politicians running for citywide or Brooklyn office are expected to attend the major event -- and all of them will be asking Howard for a helping hand in getting a reception among the influential crowd of 500.
The West Indian Day Parade is a cultural institution in New York, when millions turn out along
Eastern Parkway to see the steel pan bands, the feathered dancers and the floats blasting reggae, calypso and soca music. The breakfast attendees include influential Caribbean-Americans, including businesspeople, heads of
Caribbean cultural organizations and church leaders.
It's a valuable speaking opportunity for politicians.
"It's very bad. You can't accommodate everybody," Howard told
The Huffington Post. "I'm emceeing, and you've got 50 staff members sending cards and notes up to
me that so-and-so is under the tent, and can he get two minutes on the podium. It gets complicated."
The complications don't just end when the politician gets on stage. Getting him or her off is often a harder task that produces its own set of stresses, Howard said.
"
Once you've given an elected official a mic, it's kind of hard to have them move," he said. "If an elected official starts going on too long, I stand right behind him and start pulling his coattails."
Politicking happens at all of the city's big parades --
St. Patrick's Day,
Puerto Rican Day,
Gay Pride -- with candidates looking for a prominent spot in the march or a chance to speak. But the Labor Day procession in central Brooklyn is
New York's largest. That the celebration falls just days before the mayoral primary election on
Sept. 10 only amplifies its significance.
And in this year's crowded
Democratic field for mayor, the parade provides an opportunity to woo black voters. A poll released last week by
Siena College and
The New York Times showed that 20 percent of black
Democrats hadn't made up their minds on the mayoral race (or wouldn't reveal their choice).
