Dupré Library mourns the death of Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco. Being the first and only woman to be elected governor of Louisiana, she was a beacon of light for all Louisiana citizens, and worked hard to overcome the state’s obstacles. Her legacy has manifested into the new Kathleen Babineaux Blanco Public Policy Center, a research center established at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in 2018 to hold her gubernatorial papers and provide a space for researchers and policy makers. Dupré Library is proud to be the home of the Center and her papers.
