Nyuma y’imibiri yabo imaze gutaburwa hashize ibinyejana byinshi kandi ibihanga byabo byoherejwe mu Budage mu bushakashatsi bw’imiterere ishingiye ku moko, ibisigazwa by’Abanyamerika 19 bo muri Afurika byasubijwe muri New Orleans kugira ngo bishyingurwe neza. Igihe kimwe mu 1880 umuganga wa New Orleans, Dr. Henry D. Schmidt yohereje ibihanga 19 i Leipzig, mu Budage gukora ubushakashatsi.
Ubushakashatsi bwizeraga ko imiterere ya gihanga ishobora kumenya imiterere. Mu 2023, abashakashatsi bo muri kaminuza ya Leipzig batangiye gutegura kugarukana ibyo bisigazwa 19. Umuhanga mu by’amateka Eva Baham yagize ati: “Ni imyiyerekano yacu bwite muri hano muri New Orleans no muri Leipzig hamwe n’abarimu baho bifuzaga kugira icyo bakora kugira ngo bagarure icyubahiro cy’abo bantu“.

Guillory yagize ati: “Hariho kumva neza ibintu, kuri macabre, imiterere y’ibyo tuvuga. Habayeho kandi gushidikanya kwinshi niba koko dushobora kubazana hano. Tugomba kubazana hano? Ninde ukwiye kubazwa kubazana hano? Kuki babagarura? Kandi ndatekereza ko komite ubwayo yari yizeye cyane kandi yemeza ko aricyo kintu cyiza cyo gukora.”
Ibisigazwa bizabikwa ku rwibutso rwa serwakira Katrina. Guillory yagize ati: “Turashaka ko uwo munsi utaba uwo kwibuka gusa ahubwo ko ari ukubara no kuvugurura, kandi ntituzigere tubibagirwa.”
