The book chronicles the events su rrounding the Plaquemine Riot of September 1963 and the community’s figh t for racial equality. Through voter registration drives\, school integrat ion efforts\, sit-ins\, marches\, and boycotts\, local activists (includin g members of CORE and the NAACP) challenged segregation and injustice whil e facing fierce opposition from local authorities. The story also highligh ts the pivotal role of Plymouth Rock Baptist Church and recounts the drama tic escape of CORE\nleader James Farmer\, who was secretly transported out of town in a coffin to evade arrest. This powerful presentation explores a defining chapter in Louisiana’s Civil Rights history and the lasting i mpact these events had on Iberville Parish and beyond.

Drawing from t he celebrated holdings of The Johnson Collection in Spartanburg\, South Ca rolina\, and Louisiana institutions and private collectors\, this exhibiti on explores how visual artists have grappled with the American South’s l ayered history through a lens long cultivated in Southern literature.\n\n \n\nOriginally curated as a collaboration between The Johnson Collection a nd Wofford College\, also in Spartanburg\, the show examines how nineteent h- and twentieth-century artists employed potent visual language to transc ribe the tensions between the South’s idyllic aura and its historical re alities. Using Southern Gothic literary traditions as inspiration\, the gr ouping considers how artists translate into visual form the same tensions found in the writings of William Faulkner\, Flannery O'Connor\, Tennessee Williams\, and Toni Morrison. Often described as a mood rather than a stri ct genre\, Southern Gothic blends elements of horror\, romance\, decay\, s pirituality\, and dark humor. In painting\, printmaking\, and sculpture\, these sensibilities emerge as evocative landscapes\, charged domestic inte riors\, allegorical scenes\, stereotypical antebellum imagery\, and portra its that hint at psychological depth and social complexity.\n\n \n\nThe co re group of artworks has been expanded to engage Louisiana’s distinctive cultural environments\, layered histories\, and enduring traditions. Obje cts from The Johnson Collection are placed in conversation with selections from LSUMOA’s permanent collection and significant loans from the Louis iana State Museums system\, the Newcomb Art Museum at Tulane University\, the renowned Roger Houston Ogden Collection\, and art collector Jeremy Sim ien. This expanded framework creates a dynamic dialogue between regional v oices and the broader scope of Southern art history. Together\, the object s illuminate how artists have negotiated myth and memory\, confronting the South’s romanticized imagery alongside its difficult and often contradi ctory realities.\n\n \n\nFounded in 2002\, The Johnson Collection has grow n into a distinguished holding of more than 1\,400 objects spanning multip le centuries that trace the cultural evolution of the American South. The organization champions the pivotal role Southern art plays within the nati onal narrative and is dedicated to elevating historically under-recognized voices through thoughtfully curated publications and exhibitions that con tinually reassess and expand the story of Southern art.\n\n \n\nFunding fo r the 2026 Parish America 250 Mini Grant has been provided by the State of Louisiana and administered by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities in partnership with the Louisiana Office of the Lieutenant Governor and th e America 250 Louisiana State Commission.
