The program, funded by a grant from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities that the library was recently awarded, will cover a variety of topics concerning the African-American experience since Reconstruction.

The program will be held over the next three Wednesdays starting at 6:00 pm at the Natchitoches Parish Library. It is free and open to the public. Please call the Library at 318-357-3280 to register for this informative program.
