For forty years, and especially the last two decades, no state humanities council has developed larger or more effective programs than the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities. The LEH has delivered the humanities to every parish in the state, bringing the history and culture of Louisiana to schools, libraries, museums, and festivals in our great cities and our small towns. As the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the LEH’s mission is to provide all Louisianans with access to their own rich, shared, and diverse historical and cultural heritage. The work of the LEH responds to the ongoing needs and unique promise of our Michael Sartisky, Ph.D. state. Challenged by Mother Nature and generations of benign neglect, yet blessed with unparalleled natural resources and the resilient genius of its people, Louisiana demands perseverance and innovation. For decades, the LEH has answered that call with bold initiatives and steadfast support for our fellow citizens. It is national standards of excellence to which we aspire, not regional, or local. Today, the LEH continues to battle the erosion of our state funding and the ever- present threat of cultural memory loss: a willingness to forgo tradition and craft in favor of instant gratification and the disposable. Together with our organizational partners, our dedicated board members, skillful staff, and our countless supporters, we refuse to watch Louisiana’s history and culture wash away. Rather than simply “wish it weren’t so,” the LEH recommits daily to this struggle. We accomplish this through award-winning programs that hold the LEH and its partners to the highest standard. In every facet of our work, we measure our successes by the improvements these programs bring to the lives of all Louisianans. Kevin M. Kelly This report reflects 40 years of groundbreaking investment — of both public and private dollars — and impact throughout our state. Michael Sartisky, Ph.D. Kevin Kelly LEH President/Executive Director LEH Chair 1 Investment With support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the State of Louisiana, and generous private sources, the LEH has invested more than $65 million in humanities programs and projects that, together with funds invested by our collaborative partners, represent a total economic impact of $455 million . These programs benefit families and senior citizens, teachers and students, librarians and tourists, filmmakers and scholars, small and large museums, and nationally-recognized festivals, further strengthening our common bonds and replenishing our fertile culture. LEH Investments include: • $25.3 million in grants to collaborative partners throughout the state for humanities programming. • $7.9 million in developing, implementing, and updating PRIME TIME Family Reading Time ® across both the state and nation. • $1.1 million to launch KnowLA – The Digital Encyclopedia of Louisiana , the free, online resource for Louisiana history and culture. • $13.1 million in implementing Teacher Institutes for Advanced Study and Teaching American History , graduate-level seminars designed to improve humanities teachers’ instructional techniques, increase their content knowledge, and meet criteria for certification. • $5.5 million in producing Readings in Literature and Culture (RELIC) programs throughout Louisiana. • $4.2 million in publishing an award-winning magazine, Louisiana Cultural Vistas , that brings Louisiana’s people, stories, history, and culture to audiences in the state, across the nation, and around the world. • $3.9 million in the Louisiana Humanities Center at Turners’ Hall , the New Orleans headquarters of the LEH and a state-of-the-art meeting center that develops original D R programming and hosts the John Scott Collection. A H C N A • $3.5 million in operations, program endowment, and L B M I J Y cash reserves. S E T R U O C Louisiana Statehouse , by Jim Blanchard 2 Impact Through 40 years of sustained partnerships across the state and nation, LEH-funded documentary films, radio documentaries, and public humanities events reached an audience of more than 73 million people.

Beginning in the early 1980s, the LEH expanded dramatically with the implementation of several new programs designed to meet community and statewide needs, significant increases in state and national funding, and a determination to impact the lives of all Louisianans through the spread of the humanities. By engaging with state government to properly fund these efforts, developing partnerships with the private sector and national foundations, securing large federal grants, and through the successful fulfillment of a multiyear capital campaign, the LEH grew into the country’s largest council, with an operating budget that peaked at $4.3 million in the 2007-08 fiscal year. Succeeding years witnessed unprecedented challenges to state and federal support, but diverse funding streams and the LEH’s entrepreneurial leadership continue to generate new strategies to deliver our award-winning programs to every parish. These timelines illustrate the significant milestones made possible through decades of unparalleled growth.

The study offers statistical evidence that this preemptive approach to intergenerational illiteracy can significantly improve student learning. Consequently, PRIME TIME Family Reading Time achieves its mission and effectively creates the precondition for future learning among economically and educationally vulnerable families.

  • Identifying Cajun Identity: Cajun Assimilation and the Revitalization of Cajun Culture by Julie Elizabeth Hebert a French Speak
    Identifying Cajun Identity : Cajun Assimilation and the Revitalization of Cajun Culture By Julie Elizabeth Hebert A French speaking people, the Acadians settled first in the area of Canada now known as Nova Scotia. To their settlement, they gave the name Acadie. From then on, people called them Acadians. Content in their forest home, the Acadians did not ask for much from their British and French colonial governments, nor did they wish to be bothered. A people more than happy to be neglected, the Acadians repeatedly came under siege in the wars of empire. Exiled and shipped to multiple destinations, the Acadians found a home in the swamps and bayous of South Louisiana. Here, they once again settled into a life of isolation and contentment. As the exiles adapted to life in America, they and their culture began to evolve. As the young country fought and won its independence, the Acadians established permanent settlements, settlements that remained untouched until the end of the Civil War and the dawning of the twentieth century. With the industrial revolution in full force, the Acadians battled assimilation. In the end, they stood on the brink of cultural annihilation, yet in the end they fought to reclaim their heritage. Cajun culture, a hybrid form of Acadian culture, resulted from this evolution. This is the story of the Cajuns, their assimilation, and their success in reclaiming their culture and their identity. The end of the Civil War marked the beginning of the Cajuns’ battle to resist and reclaim the culture of their ancestors, the Acadians. On April 9, 1865, the Confederate forces under General Robert E.

  • A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo
    A Medley of Cultures: Louisiana History at the Cabildo Chapter 1 Introduction This book is the result of research conducted for an exhibition on Louisiana history prepared by the Louisiana State Museum and presented within the walls of the historic Spanish Cabildo, constructed in the 1790s. All the words written for the exhibition script would not fit on those walls, however, so these pages augment that text. The exhibition presents a chronological and thematic view of Louisiana history from early contact between American Indians and Europeans through the era of Reconstruction. One of the main themes is the long history of ethnic and racial diversity that shaped Louisiana. Thus, the exhibition—and this book—are heavily social and economic, rather than political, in their subject matter. They incorporate the findings of the "new" social history to examine the everyday lives of "common folk" rather than concentrate solely upon the historical markers of "great white men." In this work I chose a topical, rather than a chronological, approach to Louisiana's history. Each chapter focuses on a particular subject such as recreation and leisure, disease and death, ethnicity and race, or education. In addition, individual chapters look at three major events in Louisiana history: the Battle of New Orleans, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Organization by topic allows the reader to peruse the entire work or look in depth only at subjects of special interest. For readers interested in learning even more about a particular topic, a list of additional readings follows each chapter. Before we journey into the social and economic past of Louisiana, let us look briefly at the state's political history.

  • The Music of Louisiana: Cajuns, Creoles and Zydeco
    The Music of Louisiana: Cajuns, Creoles and Zydeco Carole Poindexter-Sylvers INTRODUCTION The music and cuisine of southern Louisiana experienced a renaissance during the 1980s. Zydeco musicians and recording artists made appearances on morning talk shows, Cajun and Creole restaurants began to spring up across the nation, and celebrity chefs such Paul Prudhomme served as a catalyst for the surge in interest. What was once unknown by the majority of Americans and marginalized within the non-French speaking community in Louisiana had now become a national trend. The Acadians, originally from Acadia, Nova Scotia, were expelled from Canada and gradually became known as Cajuns. These Acadians or Cajuns proudly began teaching the lingua franca in their francophone communities as Cajun French, published children‘s books in Cajun French and school curricula in Cajun French. Courses were offered at local universities in Cajun studies and Cajun professors published scholarly works about Cajuns. Essentially, the once marginalized peasants had become legitimized. Cajuns as a people, as a culture, and as a discipline were deemed worthy of academic study stimulating even more interest. The Creoles of color (referring to light-skinned, French-speaking Negroid people born in Louisiana or the French West Indies), on the other hand, were not acknowledged to the same degree as the Cajuns for their autonomy. It would probably be safe to assume that many people outside of the state of Louisiana do not know that there is a difference between Cajuns and Creoles – that they are a homogeneous ethnic or cultural group. Creoles of color and Louisiana Afro-Francophones have been lumped together with African American culture and folkways or southern folk culture.

  • Grade 3 Social Studies: Year-Long Overview
    Grade 3 Social Studies: Year-Long Overview To be productive members of society, students must be critical consumers of information they read, hear and observe, and communicate effectively about their ideas. Students need to gain knowledge from a wide array of sources and examine and evaluate that information to develop and express an informed opinion, using information gained from the sources and their background knowledge. Students must also make connections between what they learn about the past and the present to understand how and why events happen and people act in certain ways. To accomplish this, students must: 1. Use sources regularly to learn content. 2. Make connections among people, events, and ideas across time and place. 3. Express informed opinions using evidence from sources and outside knowledge. Teachers must create instructional opportunities that delve deeply into content and guide students in developing and supporting claims about social studies concepts. In grade 3, students explore what makes a place unique as they examine the geographic, historic, cultural, governmental, and economic characteristics that make Louisiana unique. The key themes in grade 3 highlight the connections among the GLEs that students should make as they develop and express informed opinions about the grade 3 claims.
