Louisiana Bar Foundation Fund for A.P. Tureaud Biography

Louisiana Bar Foundation Fund for A.P. Tureaud Biography

The Louisiana Bar Foundation (LBF) has created an alliance with authors Rachel Emanuel and A.P. Tureaud, Jr., to publish their preeminent work on Louisiana civil rights advocate and pioneer Mr. A. P. Tureaud. The book manuscript is under contract for publication by LSU Press.

This project began as an academic publication but is such a fascinating story of vital importance to Louisiana and the United States that all parties involved want this work to reach beyond a scholarly publication to a much wider general audience. The co-authors must hire a developmental editor for completion of this project and funds must be raised to pay for this final phase of the project. Therefore, the LBF officially opened the "Louisiana Bar Foundation for A.P. Tureaud Fund." All donations are designated for costs associated with the book.

To get the fund started, attorneys Ike Spears of New Orleans and Walter Dumas of Baton Rouge each made a donation to the LBF-A.P. Tureaud Fund on Friday, April 30, 2004. They are pictured with A.P. Tureaud, Jr. of New York and LBF board member Jock Scott of Alexandria, at the Louisiana Bar Center in New Orleans.
