All Exhibits & EventsEvent Overview
What was it really like to grow up in Louisiana during one of the most complex chapters in our history?
Join us at Louisiana's Old State Capitol for a live reading and signing of Rainbow Over the Bayou: Jim Crow Through the Eyes of a White Girl, a story set in 1960s Louisiana during the Civil Rights era. Through the lens of childhood memory, it reflects on life along the bayou, where everyday moments existed alongside a rapidly changing world.
This event offers a chance to listen, reflect, and engage with a story rooted in place, perspective, and lived experience.
