Although the legal system has treated spaces of the dead as sacred for hundreds of years, this reverence does not always play out in reality. This presentation traces developments in Louisiana's statutory laws through cases of cemeteries' mistreatments and reviews the existing protections for these sacred spaces.
Join us for our monthly Special Collections Lecture Series on October 21, 2026 at 6:00pm at the Main Library on Goodwood as we host Ryan M. Seidemann, J.D., Ph.D., RPA from the Water Institute of the Gulf for this fascinating talk.
