There’s no place quite like Louisiana. The food, music, scenery, cultures, and traditions are just a few of the things that make our state such a treasure, not only to those of us lucky enough to call it home, but to the world. That’s why sharing the story of Louisiana is so important to LPB.
Over the past four decades, LPB has connected the citizens of Louisiana by producing programs and documentaries that showcase our unique history, people, places and events. Programs like Why Louisiana Ain’t Mississippi… or Any Place Else!, The Precipice, La Veillée, and Ziggy’s Arts Adventure are some of our most recent programs. To ensure LPB’s continued legacy as Louisiana’s Storyteller, Friends of LPB developed the Louisiana Production Fund as a way to ensure that many more programs like these will be possible for generations to come.
LPB has so much more to share! Along with weekly programs like Louisiana: The State We’re In and Art Rocks! The Series, LPB has some exciting documentaries coming this Fall, that cover topics as diverse as the state itself!
- The Colfax Massacre and the End of Reconstruction - This film tells the tale of a crucial event in American history through the voices of the White and Black descendants of the battle and those of leading historians.
- Capturing America: The Carol Highsmith Story - For more than 40 years, Carol Highsmith wakes up every single day with one mission: to document every nook and cranny of the United States, from its majestic mountains and quirky roadside attractions to its most unforgettable characters, known and unknown.

Founding Members
LPB Louisiana Production Fund
The Louisiana Production Fund was started with a very generous gift from LPB members Frank McArthur II and his late wife Kathy. The McArthurs wanted to establish the fund as a way to honor retired LPB President Beth Courtney and her dedication to sharing the uniqueness of Louisiana with the rest of the world.
Consider becoming a founding member and helping us continue sharing the stories of this unique place that we call home with the rest of the world.
