Richard Jones+FollowHistoric West Feliciana school gets a new chapterA powerful community effort is underway to restore part of John S. Dawson High School, the first high school for Black students in West Feliciana Parish. At a packed banquet in Baton Rouge, supporters celebrated the school’s legacy—how it gave generations the confidence to succeed in law, medicine, and education, despite closing after integration. Southern University Chancellor John Pierre shared inspiring stories about Black educators’ impact during Dawson’s era. Rebuilding this school isn’t just about bricks and mortar—it’s about honoring a place that shaped so many lives. What do you think this restoration means for our community’s future? #Safety #WestFeliciana #CommunityPride00Share
