Description
135 years ago, roughly 60 black men and women were killed in what is now known as the Thibodaux Massacre.
Just 135 years ago, roughly 60 Black men and women were killed in what is now known as the Thibodaux Massacre.
Only eight of their names were read at this year's memorial. The majority of them are lost to history after their bodies were buried in an unmarked, mass grave after the shooting.
But through the descendants of survivors, their story lives on.
