Why Louisiana Ain’t Mississippi… or Any Place Else! Documentary Companion Book
LPB is proud to offer this stunning documentary companion book, filled with over 250 photos highlighting the beauty of our state.
A collaboration between Louisiana Public Broadcasting, incredible visual documentarian Carol Highsmith, and one of our state’s greatest ambassadors, Jay Dardenne, this book takes you on a visual journey across Louisiana, revealing hidden beauty and startling new perspectives of iconic images.
Carol M. Highsmith has been visually documenting America for more than forty years. She is donating her life's work to the Library of Congress, where it is preserved in the most historic photo collection on Earth. Thousands of Highsmith's images from her comprehensive exploration of the fifty states will be available from our national library for the ages. "The most important thing about working with Louisiana Public Broadcasting is that you’re right down my line. I am donating every image I take to the Library of Congress. And what is LPB doing? You give us programming that really, basically, is for the people. It’s a gift. How wonderful."
