Fun Fact Friday with Special Collections
Fri, 02/02/2024 - 10:07am
Today we will be highlighting the Carlton J. James Collection. The collection contains taped interviews with several participants in Louisiana's civil rights movement. The project directors were Drs. Patricia Rickels and Matthew Schott with assistance from Barry Ancelet, Elemore Morgan, Jr., and Doris White. The directors chose to honor long-time Lafayette educator and civil rights leader, Carlton James.
The project was sponsored by then USL and funded by the Louisiana Council for the Humanities and the Acadiana Committee in Human Relations. It contains tapes, compact discs, transcripts, and photo slides.
