A Second Louisiana French Renaissance? | La Veillée
After decades of Louisiana French being formally banned in public education, 1968 marked a turning point in our State’s history as laws were passed for the first time to promote French in education and culture. Over 50 years later, there has been a new resurgence of Louisiana French in recent years in education, music, politics, and media, including the launch of La Veillée on LPB in 2022.
Do these developments constitute a second Louisiana French Renaissance? We explore what these initiatives mean for the future of Louisiana French in our season 2 finale with two francophone legislators, Senator Jeremy Stine and Representative Dewith Carrier. And in an exclusive interview with Governor Jeff Landry, we discuss what French means to him and how his administration plans to support the revitalization movement.
