African American History Month Celebration Turns into Unwarranted Public Display
BATON ROUGE, LA – The U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana has been shrouded in controversy following a recent event held on February 26, 2014, at the Baton Rouge Federal Courthouse.
The Nineteenth Annual Federal Courthouse African American History Month Program, which drew in local soloist Earl Taylor and civil rights pioneer A.P. Tureaud, Jr., has raised eyebrows among local authorities and media.
According to sources, the event was not authorized by the proper channels and has put the integrity of Chief Judge Brian A. Jackson, Judge James J. Brady, and Judge Shelly D. Dick in question.
The event’s organizers, including the agencies of the federal courthouse, have been accused of overstepping their boundaries and bringing unnecessary attention to the courthouse.
The public and press were invited to attend, with contact information for Michael Jefferson, Assistant United States Attorney, provided for further information at (225) 389-0443.
As the community continues to grapple with the implications of this event, one thing is clear: accountability is in order.
