With Mardi Gras, Black History Month at the Movies, and our Scholarship Fishing Tournament, we have lots going on at LSUA! Mark your calendars and make plans to attend!
Black History Month Mondays at the Movies feature free movie, popcorn and dinner every Monday in February, beginning February 4th in Brumfield Caffey Annex at 6:30pm. There is no movie on the 11th due to Mardi Gras. This event is sponsored by LSUA Multicultural Committee, the Student Government Association, and the Arna-Bontemps African American Home and Museum. This year’s featured movies are Spike Lee’s School Daze, and two silent movies: Uncle Tom’s Cabin, the first Uncle Tom movie to have a Black man play Uncle Tom, and Scar of Shame—both made in 1927. Please check our campus calendar at www.lsua.edu for additional information.
LSUA Mardi Gras Parade will roll Wednesday, February 6th at noon on campus. The parade promises to be a family-friendly event for all to enjoy!
