We are incredibly excited and deeply grateful to announce that the Community Foundation of North Louisiana has awarded LVCC a generous $10,000 grant through the Travis White Fund.

Mr. White served during World War II where he received Special Commendation for his service as Commanding Officer for Minesweepers. After the war, he returned to Shreveport and worked as a trust officer for Commercial National Bank. His successful business career never overshadowed his commitment to the community. Travis was a member of every City Charter revision committee from the 1950s through the 1970s and played an important role in shaping Shreveport’s current City Council form of government. He had a particular concern for the "forgotten” people of Shreveport and believed that education could empower the disadvantaged.

As a result of his bequest, the fund has awarded 294 grants for a total of $8.3 million since it was established in 1992. This amazing investment will directly support our mission to provide free, life-changing adult education, HiSET/GED preparation, and literacy programs right here in our community. Partners like CFNLA make it possible for our students to open new doors, achieve their dreams, and build brighter futures.

"If you can read, you can teach yourself anything about everything." — Dolly Parton

The world has lost a true icon, but Dolly Parton’s legacy will illuminate minds for generations to come. Beyond her legendary music, she devoted her life to championing hope, education, and childhood literacy. Through the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, she put hundreds of millions of books directly into the hands of young readers, sparking curiosity and confidence in children around the globe.

Here at Literacy Volunteers at Centenary College, we grieve her passing while holding tight to the exact vision she spent a lifetime building. We believe that literacy is the foundation of a brighter, more empowered future, and we remain dedicated to continuing her work by fostering a community where everyone has access to the life-changing power of reading.

Let’s honor Dolly's memory by keeping her passion alive. Visit the link in our bio or visit www.shreveportliteracy.org to see how you can support our literacy initiatives and help carry her gift forward.
