Notable People of Color - St. Francisville, Louisiana

By Dr. Henry L. Hardy

Book Overview

If my story is not told, the history of Notable People of Color will forever be excluded in the history of St. Francisville, La. My presentation may be offensive to some; however, I have chosen to present what has been left out of the many books written by local authors and historians to include the contributions, perspectives, and historical facts regarding Notable People of Color in St. Francisville. It is my intention to share this wealth of information for the sake of inclusion for future generations to follow. During my youth in St. Francisville, People of Color experienced racism at its highest. This book is an attempt to tell the story that although People of Color experienced racism and an educational system of separate and unequal; this did not deter us from moving forward. It was with our dedication to pursue higher education that we, People of Color, moved forward to create excellence both within and beyond the small town of St. Francisville. It is my hope that those who read "Notable People of Color - St. Francisville, La" will understand that my journey was typical of many of my classmates. We were resilient throughout our experiences, and we remained steadfast while enjoying wholesome and rewarding outcomes. Our family and spiritual training received will forever be with us. May Notable People of Color and their contributions forever be included in the history of St. Francisville, and West Feliciana Parish. -Dr. Henry Hardy Author of Notable People of Color - St. Francisville, Louisiana
