Carville National Leprosarium
We visit a remarkable institution where people with Hansen's disease, or leprosy, learned to play music, had Mardi Gras parties, and published their own newspaper.
Check out Wendy Chin-Tanner’s novel, King of the Armadillos, based on her father’s experience at Carville.
