Summer 2019

This summer in 64 Parishes, our cover story is a look at the forgotten history of Camp Livingston, a military installation near Alexandria used as an internment camp for Japanese men during World War II.

The issue also includes:

• Journalist Ana Gershanik on the changes Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath have brought for New Orleans’ Latin American population
• Has jazz researcher James Karst found a teenage Louis Armstrong in stock footage from 1915? See the video for yourself!
• Historian Joan DeJean traces the life of Marie Baron, who was transported from France against her will to colonial Louisiana and later captured by the Natchez Indians
• Shreveport’s Chris Jay rounds up the best and boldest Louisiana podcasts
• Geographer Rich Campanella analyzes our in-house study of geographic diversity in 64 Parishes content
• Editor-in-Chief Erin Greenwald reminds us that this summer marks 300 years since the first slave ships reached Louisiana

Plus stories by our partners at the Historic New Orleans Collection, the Hilliard Museum, Ogden Museum of Southern Art, Shreveport Regional Arts Council, and the Northeast Louisiana Arts Council.
