Baton Rouge's LGBTQ Community: Then and Now

Description
Conducted by students in Elaine Maccio's class, Social Work with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender People, these interviews focus on the LGBTQ community in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, from the 1950s to the 2000s. Interviewees describe what it was like to identify as gay at a time when negative stereotypes were pervasive, and discuss the changes they've witnessed as LGBTQ causes have become more mainstream. Interviewees share personal experiences of marriages and relationships, coming out, and recount their involvement and activism in the LGBTQ and Baton Rouge communities whether social, political, religious, or related to HIV/AIDS causes.

Mossville History Project
Series Information
Description
This project is a collaboration between the Imperial Calcasieu Museum and LSU Libraries to document the history of Mossville, a historic African American community in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. Many Mossville residents today are descendants of families who settled in what was known as "Shoat's Prairie" until 1916, when it was renamed Mossville after James Moss, a descendant of the original settlers. Many Mossville residents today are descendants of original families, yet they have been largely absent from any written or oral records. Adjacent to Lake Charles, Sulphur, and numerous industries, this community has been the focus of much media attention in relation to environmental justice issues, especially since the ‘90s.
