Krewe Of Nyx Captain Apologizes For 'All Lives Matter' Post

The captain of New Orleans' largest Carnival parading organization is issuing an apology following an "All Lives Matter" post.

On Monday, Julie Lea released a statement saying that she was unaware that the use of that hashtag in posts would be divisive.

According to reports, Lea posted a photo on both her personal Instagram account and on Nyx social media of a black child caressing the face of a white child under the slogan "#ALLLIVESMATTER Our Souls Are the Same Color."

Social media users were quick to criticize Lea's posts, with some vowing to boycott the parade.
