Lorraine Hawkins Series

Description: Hawkins (M.A. 1991, LSU) conducted interviews with residents of the rural communities of Pride and Chaneyville, Louisiana. The project began as a study of East Baton Rouge Parish's Horizon 2000 Plan, a program that involved neighborhood meetings to discuss long-range planning issues and land use. It grew into a community history. Interviewees discussed the settlement of the area, prominent families, the establishment of churches and schools, church life, early land ownership by African Americans, sawmills and railroads, Masonic and benevolent societies, and modernization.
