Dr. Fredrick Adams (B.A. ’75), associate professor of French at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, has been selected to be a member of the Advisory Board for the Louisiana Delta African American Heritage Museum in Monroe.

The board is charged with exploring ideas publicizing exhibits and increasing funds for the exhibits.
