## Resource

On Juneteenth, West Baton Rouge Parish honored A. Ralph Slaughter, a pioneering civil rights leader who died in 1984 at 71, for his transformative work in education and economic empowerment. Known for founding one of Louisiana’s first credit unions, he broke barriers for Black residents. His son, Dr. Ralph Slaughter, delivered a moving tribute at the West Baton Rouge Museum, rallying the community around his legacy. This powerful gathering reminds us that one person’s courage can spark lasting change—and that remembering history is vital to building a fairer future.
