Kont Kréyol-Ye (Creole Folktales) at the West Baton Rouge Museum

As part of his 1931 LSU Master's thesis, Lafayette Jarreau recorded Louisiana Creoles in Pointe Coupee and West Baton Rouge Parishes telling stories. Through funding by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, the West Baton Rouge Historical Association, Vilaj Bonjwa, and Chinbo, Inc., a new publication based on Jarreau's findings will be published, with artwork created by Louisiana Creoles who have visually interpreted the tales. The art, created by local artists including Malaika Favorite, Keith "Cartoonman" Douglas, Jonathan Mayers, George Marks, Henry Barconey, and Henry Watson, will be on display at the West Baton Rouge Museum as part of an exhibition titled Kont Kréyol-yé (Creole Folktales). westbatonrougemuseum.org.
