Since 1985, the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities (LEH) has honored Louisianans who have made outstanding contributions to the study and understanding of the humanities. This year, two Lafayette-area natives—Darrell Bourque and Viola Fontenot (both from Church Point)—are among those being honored at the annual Bright Lights Awards Dinner. The event will be held on April 4 at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Student Union.
