A Legacy Unveilied: Celebrating an Esteemed Civil Rights Leader

May 15, 2012 By In Events

On Saturday, May 19, 2012 an official Louisiana State historical marker will be unveiled at the home of attorney A. P. Tureaud.

A prominent civil rights attorney and contemporary of Thurgood Marshall, Alexander Pierre Tureaud, Sr. was born in New Orleans in 1899. He grew up acutely aware of racial segregation. Clearly one of the most influential civil rights leader of his time, his activism led to lawsuits successfully challenging pay inequality in Louisiana public schools, as well as segregation in higher education. Other suits involved the desegregation of New Orleans Public Schools, city parks, and other public facilities. His work not only helped to obtain civil rights for African Americans, but also to improve race relations and the quality of life for all people in Louisiana.

The unveiling ceremony will occur at the Tureaud residence, 3121 Pauger St. New Orleans, LA 70119, at 1PM. This historic ceremony, sponsored by the A. P. Tureaud Sr., Legacy Committee, is open to the public.
