  • Resumen

  • Imagine Louisiana without French. Even if you don’t hear it often, you know that it is there and part of the state’s history, culture and even its music and food. Well, it could have happened. In 1925 a state law was passed which, in effect, forbade the teaching of the French language in Louisiana. Perhaps the language was seen as being a stigma, but the law was certainly a mistake. In the years to follow, an effort was started to rescind the law and, to the contrary, embrace the language with its variations including Cajun and Creole. Mavis Arnaud Fruge, who is credited with starting the state’s French revival movement, joins Louisiana Life Executive Editor Errol Laborde, along with producer Kelly Massicot, to tell her story. Joining her are filmmakers Bill Rodman and Flo Rodman whose documentary about the revival, “Mavis: One Simple Sentence,” has recently been released by Louisiana Public Broadcasting.

    With efforts such as CODIFIL and French immersion schooling the drive to save the language has gotten stronger. Why is French Important? The producers and Fruge make their case. To that we say, ”Merci.”
