Join us as we sit with Charles Larroque and discuss his career as a teacher, cultural activist and creator, the reclamining of the Louisianan identity culturally and linguistically, and the economic opportunities that French can help create in the state. 

Former executive director of CODOFIL, Charles Larroque has played several roles in the Louisiana Francophone. He has worked as a French teacher and social studies teacher notably in Lafayette. He is also an author of several different books and producer of several media productions in order to help reconnect Louisianans with their heritage languages. For his efforts, he has been nominated "Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Palmes Académique" and has received the prize from Louisiana.
