Annual ReportContents

About the cover:“The Arrival of the Acadians in Louisiana” by Robert

Dafford, is a centerpiece of the Acadian Memorial in

St. Martinville. The vibrant mural measures 12 x 30 feet.

Its figures represent actual documented Acadian refugees

who arrived in Louisiana from about 1764 to 1788 and who

settled in different parts of the state. Some models are

direct descendants of the figures they portray. This mural

is twinned with one in Nantes, France, also painted by

Robert Dafford, which depicts the departure of Louisiana-

bound Acadians from the port of Nantes in 1785.

THE LouISIAnA EnDowMEnT FoR THE HuMAnITIES — through its

national award-winning programs, Louisiana Cultural Vistas magazine and

grants awarded to communities across the state — is the nation’s leading

state humanities council. It creates greater public access to “our shared her-

itage.” Its programs also address needs such as family literacy, teacher pro-

fessional development and cultural tourism that are crucial to the quality of

life today and for future generations.

Last year, 2004, was a phenomenal year in funding and in programs. In

october 2003, the u.S. Department of Education awarded a $1 million

“Teaching American History” grant to the LEH and the orleans Parish

School System to conduct a three-year series of summer institutes for

orleans Parish public school history teachers. The first institutes were held

June 14 through July 9, 2004, at Loyola university in new orleans for 88

history and social studies teachers. Loyola granted the teachers three gradu-

ate credit hours and waived more than $126,000 in tuition.

In other funding areas, the LEH was fortunate to be included in the

state’s capital outlay appropriation for $600,000 to complete the purchase

of Turners’ Hall. The $600,000 state capital outlay money, which is only

part of the money we requested from the state, helped us leverage a three-

year $500,000 Challenge Grant from the national Endowment for the

Humanities, the largest such grant ever received by a state council. These

funds are part of our state-federal-private initiative to convert Turners’ Hall

into a major center of education.

Capital CampaignIn 2004 we launched The Louisiana Humanities Center Capital Campaign

with the goal of raising a relatively modest amount, less than $5 million. The

organization’s objective goes far beyond dollars and cents. we will reconfig-

ure the Louisiana Humanities Center and develop a state-of-the-art educa-

tion facility that will change how teachers learn and teach, help at-risk fami-

lies bond around the act of reading, and help promote life-long learning for

all Louisianians. Capital Campaign funds will be used to create four seminar

rooms and a 120-person auditorium equipped with state-of-the-art educa-

tional presentation technology and high-tech distance learning technology

that will link the LEH with schools, universities, libraries and the public

throughout Louisiana and the world.

LEH Programswhether through the dramatic expansion of PRIME TIME FAMILy READ-

InG TIMEOR , receipt of a major Teaching American History grant, our

Teacher Institutes for Advanced Study, RELIC, our grants programs or

Louisiana Cultural Vistas magazine, the Louisiana Endowment for the

Humanities’ statewide programs reached deep into communities throughout

the state. we continued to excel in developing and supporting programs that

are now national models for their quality.

Louisiana rarely has been the source of a solution to the problems of illit-

eracy. Too often, our state has been cited among its dismal examples. yet, in

2004, our PRIME TIME completed programs in 42 sites, representing 25

parishes and reaching 2,000 young people and their parents or guardians.

2 l L o u I S I A n A E n D o w M E n T for the H u M A n I T I E S

LEHLouisiana Endowment for the Humanities

LouisianaHumanitiesCenter

Turners’ Hall, a 19th-

century German social

hall, has served as the

home of the LEH since

the spring of 2001. It is

located in New Orleans’

Central Business District.

In addition, PRIME TIME programs were held at 37 sites in nine states.

Indiana, kentucky, Michigan and new Mexico contracted with the LEH as

PRIME TIME affiliate states, thus illustrating their commitment to sustain

and expand the program nationally. Also, the national Endowment for the

Humanities funds targeted PRIME TIME programs in California, Florida,

kentucky and Pennsylvania. Since PRIME TIME began in 1991, it has

reached 60 of the state’s 64 parishes as well as communities in 35 other

states, plus the Virgin Islands. This is truly a Louisiana success story.

now in its 21st year, RELIC is a cornerstone of our program initiatives

and a blueprint for successful reading programs. In 2004, the LEH, working

with local libraries, conducted 34 six-week programs with almost 4,198

Louisiana residents signing up for the program. This year, program topics

ranged from Louisiana history and literature to world war II and the

Louisiana Purchase. Since its inception in 1983, RELIC programs have

reached almost 69,000 Louisiana residents in 62 of the state’s 64 parishes.

our highly popular Teacher Institutes for Advance Studies were success-

ful again last year. In 2004, the LEH provided grant funds for nine insti-

tutes, engaging 186 teachers from 38 parishes and scholars from a dozen

Louisiana colleges and universities. The largest statewide program of its

kind in the nation, teachers who have completed our Teacher Institutes for

Advanced Study instruct just over 452,000 Louisiana students annually.

This was in addition to the four Teaching American History Institutes we

held at Loyola university for new orleans Public School Teachers.

Louisiana Cultural Vistas, many times winner of the new orleans Press

Club award for best publication, continued to gain greater attention and

acclaim. with a readership exceeding 50,000, Louisiana Cultural Vistas is a

lasting way for the LEH to promote and explore Louisiana’s rich cultural

heritage.

Two other major LEH-supported projects also are featured in this report.

American Routes is a nationally acclaimed two-hour weekly radio program,

featuring Louisiana roots music. In 2004, it reached 147 radio stations in 200

radio markets. The Tennessee williams new orleans Literary Festival com-

pleted its 18th year in

2004 and continued to

gain national recognition as

one of the nation’s premier

literary events.

Grantswhile nearly every area of LEH

programming grew during the past

year, much more remains to be done.

Several regions of the state are under-

served. unfortunately, many communities

lack the resources to host programs we sup-

port. we continue to explore these challenges.

This year’s Annual Report also describes

grants projects funded in 2004 to community

organizations, institutions, museums, scholars,

writers and film producers. Since its creation in 1971,

the LEH has provided almost $22 million to help fund almost 2,500 human-

ities projects, reaching towns and cities in every parish in the state. In 2004

alone, the LEH awarded 86 grants, amounting to $844,006, to individuals

and organizations, plus an additional $959,146 for RELIC, PRIME TIME and

Louisiana Cultural Vistas, for a total of $1,803,152.

As you will see in the pages that follow, 2004 was an exceptional year,

thanks to continuing support from the State of Louisiana, the national

Endowment for the Humanities, corporations and hundreds of private

donors. It was a year in which the Louisiana Endowment for the

Humanities’ Board of Directors and staff made important strides in creating

even greater public access to the humanities.

PRIME TIME FAMILy READInG TIMEOR is a unique intergenera-

tional six- or eight-week literacy program composed of readings,

discussions and storytelling. It reached approximately 2,000

participants in 2004 at public libraries, schools, community centers

and other public venues. The exemplary family-

based model featurs award-winning children’s

books to stimulate discussion about themes

and problems encountered in daily life.

The goals of this humanities project are

to encourage parents and children to bond

around the act of reading and learning

together, thus reinforcing the role of the

family, and to help children and parents learn

how to select and share books, thereby inspir-

ing a lifelong love of books and libraries.

In 2004 PRIME TIME completed 42 sites in

Louisiana, representing 25 parishes. Since the

program began in 1991, 60 of Louisiana’s 64 parishes

have participated. This program is designed for fami-

lies with low literacy skills and targets parents with

children ages 6 to 10. However, the format includes

a separate pre-literacy group activity for younger

siblings.

In recognition of the proven potential for replication, the American

Library Association continued their supportive efforts through the office

of Public Programs.

no state funds were used for the out-of state programs. These programs

were supported by federal grants that required regional or national sites.

n NEH funds targeted California, Florida, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania.

n States to contract as affiliate states, illustrat-ing their commitment to sustain and expand the program, were Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan,New Mexico, Oklahomaand Nebraska.

LouISIAnA CuLTuRAL VISTAS completed its 15th

year of publication, focusing on the state’s culture,

arts and history. This innovative publishing project

has brought to the printed page the best in visuals

and text from Louisiana scholars, artists, pho-

tographers, fiction writers, poets, essayists, and

reviewers. The quarterly magazine ensures that

grant projects that may have reached select regional popu-

lations gain greater visibility on magazine racks and coffee

tables in the living rooms, waiting rooms, and offices of

more than 80,000 readers.

Highlights of the past year include:

n A review of the artwork of new orleans street evangelist

Sister Gertrude Morgan. Her vivid illustrations of Biblical

revelations admonished the world to seek salvation.

n A tour of the trove of Greek Revival homes and

buildings in the north Louisiana town of keachi.

n A visit to Houmas House, a storied white-columned

plantation house on the Mississippi River east of Baton Rouge,

and a look at its colorful history.

n A look at the vibrant watercolor scenes of new orleans by

acclaimed artist and city native walter Anderson.

n A tour of St. Joseph’s Abbey near Covington, which

features paintings and murals by Dom Gregory de wit

based on scriptural stories.

n A celebration of the legendary Cajun band, The Hackberry

Ramblers, which recently observed its 70th anniversary.

n A retrospective of the life, music and legacy of Shreveport’s

Huddie Ledbetter, also known as Leadbelly, “king of the 12-String Guitar.”

Readings in Literature and Culture (RELIC) has offered

adult readers the opportunity to engage in diverse and intel-

lectually challenging reading and discussion of literary and

historical texts in the humanities in local

libraries across the state. RELIC is the

longest running program provided by

the Louisiana Endowment for the

Humanities.

RELIC’s topics speak to the experiences of

Louisianians as residents of the state and as

American citizens. The popularity of certain pro-

grams such as Louisiana History: Perspectives on

the Pelican State was extended in 2004 by the

update of its bibliography, and by creating new

directions for inquiry with library audiences.

RELIC, administered in partnership with the

Louisiana Library Association, serves as a gateway

for individuals to engage the worlds of ideas and

expression about the human experience, and as a

vehicle for libraries to diversify their role in their

communities. Small towns and rural areas particu-

larly benefit from these high quality programs, as

well as newcomers to Louisiana and others with spe-

cific interests.

Reaching 62 of Louisiana’s 64 parishes since

1983, the scholar-led reading sessions have been held in different libraries

across the state. RELIC has attracted a total attendance of nearly 69,000

— from all accounts the most widespread and well-attended series of

reading projects in the South.

“As one reads,

one matures, and

I believe becomes

a better person and

more able to live

harmoniously with

our fellow man.”

LEH Teacher Institutesfor Advanced Study


SInCE 1985, THE LEH HAS SPonSoRED an intensive series of 168 sum-

mer seminars for more than 3,200 Louisiana middle and high school

teachers, who in turn teach approximately 452,000 students annually. The

purpose of this program is to provide teachers with intellectual stimulation

and advanced knowledge of the sub-

jects they teach. originally supported

entirely by the LEH with funds from

the national Endowment for the

Humanities, the series has expanded

with support from the State of

Louisiana and foundation gifts.

At its December 2004 meeting,

the LEH board approved seven

Teacher Institutes that will take place

during the summer 2005. These

seminars will focus on local topics of

interest including Creoles and the

Civil war, as well as global literary

and historic topics including, world

war I, the Holocaust and the works

of the Russian literary giant,

Alexander Pushkin. Two seminars

will return teachers to the core of the

humanities, one focusing on fiction,

the other on the French language.

Most seminars offer graduate credit,

feature guest lecturers, and provide

information on Internet resources

available for classroom use.

Founded in 1991, the Southern Humanities Media Fund is a

collaboration of 10 state humanities councils in the South. The

SHMF supports film, video, and audio productions exploring

the history and culture of the American South. The LEH has

contributed a total of $65,000 to the SHMF since joining the

SHMF in 2002. Because the LEH reserves its Documentary

Film and Radio Grants for projects on Louisiana history and

culture, applicants whose projects concentrate on broader Southern topics are

referred to the SHMF.

Since its inception, the SHMF has helped to underwrite 48

outstanding films, television programs and radio projects disburs-

ing a total of $1.7 million in grant funds. In 2004, the SHMF

awarded $110,000 to provide production support for three

regional media projects: The Electricity Fairy ($15,000),

Faubourg Trémé: Democracy without Shackles ($35,000) and A

Man Ain’t Nothin’ but a Man: The Living Legacy of John Henry ($60,000).

Yesterday’s Tomorrows:

Past Visions of the American Future

For the second time, the Louisiana

Endowment for the Humanities partnered

with the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum

on Main Street Program to bring one of its

renowned traveling exhibits to Louisiana’s

underserved rural communities. Touring

from March 2004 through May 2005,

“yesterday’s Tomorrows” explores the history

of the future—our expectations and beliefs

about things to come. From ray guns to

robots, to nuclear powered cars, to the Atom-

Bomb house, to predictions and inventions that went awry, “yesterday’s

Tomorrows” helps us understand the values and hopes Americans hold and

have held about the years to come.

Besides covering all exhibition costs ($9,000) and providing in total

$36,000 in grants for ancillary exhibits and public programs to the six host

sites, the LEH has provided continuous technical assistance to the sponsoring

organizations on exhibition and program development, fundraising, publicity

and promotion, collaboration, and budget planning, all of which will benefit

these organizations long after the Smithsonian exhibit has left town.

ouRTown

Community life is a hall-

mark of America. The very

notion of how we define

community harkens back to

the small town or rural set-

tlement model.

unfortunately, many of

Louisiana’s communities

have changed or are in dan-

ger of becoming extinct.

Consequently, the LEH

instituted the our Town

Community History Grants

to document the histories of

Louisiana’s communities

before they are lost forever.

Culminating in books,

exhibits, websites and/or

walking/driving tours, the

our Town grants encourage

the development of compre-

hensive local history pro-

jects. Community histories

are an important way to get

members of the public

involved in humanities pro-

jects that strengthen com-

munity pride and create a

sense of commanality.

frequent guest commentator for national Public Radio, Cnn, C-SPAn

and network television news programs.

n The Award for Lifetime Achievement went to E. John Bullard, direc-

tor of the new orleans Museum of Art. Bullard has overseen enormous

growth and diversification in the museum’s collection and outreach to the

community.

n The Chair’s Award for Institutional Support was presented to the law

firm Jones walker for unprecedented support and assistance to the LEH,

most notably during acquisition of Turners’ Hall as the Endowment’s per-

manent headquarters.

n Special Humanities Awards were given to nancy Hawkins, manager

of the Louisiana Division of Archaeology who has overseen numerous

LEH-funded programs engaging Louisianians in this field of study; Lisa

Abney, Ph.D., director of the Louisiana Folklife Center and the LEH-fund-

ed natchitoches/nSu Folklife Festival; Mary Ann wilson, Ph.D., profes-

sor of English at Louisiana State university at Lafayette and a frequent

Prime Time Family Reading Time® programs; Huey S. Guagliardo, Ph.D.,

professor of English at Louisiana State university at Eunice and director

of two LEH-funded teacher institutes; Marshall Scott Legan, Ph.D., pro-

fessor and chair of the history department at Louisiana State university at

Monroe, who has contributed to RELIC reading programs for more than

20 years; and two wisconsin librarians, Jim Trojanowski and Carole

DeJardin, for their efforts in the nationwide expansion of Prime Time

Family Reading Time® programs.

n Two books received Book of the year Awards: Buildings of Louisiana

by karen kingsley, a comprehensive survey of the state’s architecture, and

Charting Louisiana: Five Hundred Years of Maps by three staff members

of the Historic new orleans Collection: Alfred E. Lemmon, John T.

Magill, and Jason P. wiese, and consulting editor John R. Hébert of the

Library of Congress.

n Sandra willis was recognized for 25 years of employment at the LEH

as office manager. Awards also went to four LEH board members who

retired in 2003: Michael Craft, Glenna kramer, Michael Madison, and

Emma Bradford Perry.
