The beautiful downtown lakes were built-that's right they were all man made-near LSU by Huey Long as a way to prevent an HBCU "separate but equal," from being built across the street from LSU. IIRC FSU and FAMU have a setup like that.
This is completely false. The lakes area was originally swampland, so SU couldn't have built there even if they wanted to. The swamps were scoped out a bit during the Great Depression to give some unemployed people work.
quote:
Instead, Kingfish had the Bluffs land donated for Southern.
Again false. SU's current campus was built in 1915, 13 years before Huey was even elected governor. It would make no sense to completely rebuild the campus only 13 years later.
