About this listen

Louisiana’s rich French heritage is taking center stage. We're diving into the historical and cultural significance of French in our state, tracing its journey from colonial times to modern preservation efforts. We explore pivotal moments like the 1921 ban on French education, its 1974 repeal, and how programs like French immersion and cultural initiatives are keeping the language alive.


Join us as we discuss the challenges and opportunities of preserving Louisiana French, from economic drivers to cultural identity. With insights into the work of organizations like CODOFIL and events like Festival International de Louisiane, we examine how we can all play a role in celebrating and sustaining this vital part of what makes Louisiana unique.
