In 1873 a racist mob in Colfax, Louisiana, killed dozens of black men. A state-owned historical marker at the site of the massacre erected in 1951 falsely blamed the victims. We have removed that marker and a new monument has been erected telling the truth of this tragedy. #lagov

@LouisianaGov Yes the democrats are evil indeed.
@LouisianaGov the Colfax massacre should be required in every Louisiana history course for every high schooler.
@LouisianaGov I will miss you.You’re a good fair man.I cringe at the fact that the horrendous Jeff Landry will take your place,sending this state into a DIVISIVE Trump-like hell hole.The abortion w/no exceptions was a GUT PUNCH.You guys have NO IDEA the pain.
@LouisianaGov The people who spent 200 years re-writing history into lies are so pissed right now.
@LouisianaGov @edwinmurray I emailed Matthew about this; very happy to see that it was finally replaced!
