Historical Sketch
The McLeod
Lecture Series is an annual event sponsored by the
McNeese State University Banners Program and the
Southwest Louisiana Legislative Delegation Archives. A
steering committee guides the activities of both the
archives acquisition program and the lecture series.
Ann Knapp and Paul Hart Miller served as the first
chairs of the steering committee. Louisiana Public
Broadcasting (LPB) tapes and airs each lecture series
program. In conjunction with the lecture series, each
year the steering committee chooses a student to
research and write a paper about the event.
The first program on March 18, 2004 featured a
roundtable discussion of the Young Turks, a group of
reform-minded Louisiana legislators. The second McLeod
Lecture Series (March 3, 2005) focused on the Louisiana
Governor’s office, featuring David C. Treen, Buddy
Roemer, and Mike Foster. The March 22, 2006 Lecture
Series focused on politics and the media. The March 29,
2007 Lecture Series included John Breaux and J. Bennett
Johnston discussing politics at the federal level.
Participants in the programs vary and have included
Beth Courtney and Robyn Ekings of Louisiana Public
Broadcasting and John Hill, a journalist for the
Morning Advocate.
