Library Program Room
Author Talk: A More Noble Cause with Alex Tureaud and Rachel Emanuel
Ridgefielder Alex Tureaud Jr. and Dr. Rachel Emanuel, co-authors of A More Noble Cause: A.P. Tureaud and the Struggle for Civil Rights in Louisiana, will discuss their book and show film clips from the documentary Journey for Justice: The A.P. Tureaud Story.
Throughout the decades-long legal battle to end segregation, discrimination, and disfranchisement, attorney Alexander Pierre Tureaud was one of the most influential figures in Louisiana's courts. A More Noble Cause is both the powerful story of one man's lifelong battle for racial justice and the very personal biography of a black professional and his family in Jim Crow-era Louisiana.
