The Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and Northwest Louisiana History Museum will host its next Lunchtime Lagniappe program on Friday, April 17 highlighting the impact of Louisiana women during World War I and World War II.
Titled “Going to miss this Navy life… Louisiana Women in WWI & WWII,” the program will feature local historian Kevin Shannahan, who will present on the lives of several Louisiana women whose service during the wars helped shape both their futures and broader societal change.
Organizers note that the World Wars brought significant transformation to American society, influencing movements such as civil rights and women’s rights, with many modern-day freedoms tracing their roots to that era.
The event is free and open to the public and will take place from 12:15 to 1 p.m. at the museum, located at 800 Front Street in Natchitoches.
For more information, the public can visit the museum’s Facebook page or call 318-357-2492.
