JIM CROW STATUE REMOVED

The City of Lafayette has removed the Mouton monument downtown to an undisclosed location. There will not be a trial and the UDC was given 45 days to find it a permanent home. Thanks to Fred Prejean, Move the Mindset, their allies and the City of Lafayette government for this great service to move our community forward.
