| LA BLACK HISTORY HALL OF FAME TO BREATHE LIFE INTO HISTORIC LINCOLN THEATER, SOUTH BATON ROUGE
Since 1990, the Louisiana Black History Hall of Fame has worked to preserve the history of Baton Rouge. Through inductions, museum exhibits, and arts and culture programming, the LBHHF seeks to educate the state of Louisiana on the rich history of African-Americans and use that history to build a prosperous future. So, it seems like a natural fit that the LBHHF has found a permanent home at the historic Lincoln Theater.
The Lincoln Theater is a national landmark that served as a hub of entertainment, history and culture in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. The 10,800 square foot building served as a central location for Black business and social life and features prominently in the Civil Rights movement.
With the two entities standing as one, this historical monument will once again be a pillar in the Baton Rouge arts and culture community and a beacon of hope for the on the rise again South Baton Rouge. To learn more, visit lbhhf.org.
