Louisiana Creole Voices Along the Mississippi Lunchtime Lectures

In a free presentation funded by a grant from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities and National Endowment for the Humanities, French professor Margaret Marshall and Thomas Klingler will host a discussion as this month's Lunchtime Lecture at the West Baton Rouge Museum. Marshall and Klingler have digitized two hundred cassettes, recorded for the Dictionary of Louisiana Creole in the 1980s and 1990s at the Center for Louisiana Studies. The two will discuss their work on the project as well as the historic, linguistic, and social significance of the Vacherie and Pointe Coupée varieties of Louisiana Creole. Masks required. Noon at the West Baton Rouge Museum. Free. westbatonrougemuseum.com.
