A.P. Tureaud House

A.P. Tureaud filed more desegregation lawsuits in Louisiana than any other lawyer. For over thirty years, he was the NAACP's lead attorney in the state, and the cases he brought desegregated LSU's graduate schools, challenged the white primary system, and fought for equal teacher pay. His son, A.P. Tureaud Jr., became the first Black student admitted to LSU's undergraduate program in 1953. The house stands on North Tonti Street in Tremé. It's listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Private residence — exterior viewing only. The landmark is the address itself, the fact that this particular building held a life spent turning segregation into losing legal arguments, one case at a time, across three decades of Louisiana courtrooms.
