New year, same Mummers controversy. So what's next?
Philadelphia's Mummers parade is in the national spotlight again for all the wrong reasons after two Mummers wore blackface on New Year's Day. The racist display was quickly and roundly criticized by Philadelphia officials and Mummer representatives alike, but some Philadelphians say the parade is now more trouble than it's worth. This week on KYW In Depth, we take a look at the roots of the parade and Mummer traditions, and ask how the Mummers plan to move forward without repeating the mistakes of the past.
