Crazy to think that as recently as 50-60 years ago there were people in Louisiana who didn’t speak English and only spoke French

As a Cajun from Louisiana, it was hard. The state had anti-French clauses in the constitution for a while, and English speakers were very violent to us. My grandmother never learned French because her mom was terrified for her
