His bylines have appeared in the Associated Press and New York Times. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He is the author of three books \u201cFor the Color His Skin: The Murder of Yusuf Hawkins and the Trial of Bensonhurst\u201d published in 1991; \u201cThe New Untouchables, How America Sanctions Police Violence\u201d published in 1994; and most recently, \u201cThe Thibodaux Massacre: Racial Violence and the 1887 Sugar Cane Labor Strike\u201d published last year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Research and publication of his latest book led to the creation of the nonprofit, The Louisiana 1887 Memorial Committee, which is working with archaeologists from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette to verify alleged mass grave victims. The committee\u2019s work and the book have led the City of Thibodaux and Lafourche Parish Council to publicly acknowledge and condemn the 1887 event. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Through the creation of the committee, Desantis has worked with Nicholls State University students on a public campaign to promote the committee\u2019s goals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAddressing the 2017 commencement is an honor I would never have foreseen in my wildest dreams,\u201d DeSantis said. \u201cI hope to impart a message of hope to graduates that no matter where their paths lead them, there will always be opportunities to use what they have gained during their years at Nicholls to give aid and comfort to others, while also achieving success for themselves and their families.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In honor of his work supporting the local community, Desantis will be awarded an honorary doctorate. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cReceipt of the honorary degree is for me an acknowledgment of the people in our communities, particularly those afflicted by poverty and prejudice, whose stories I have told,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is my hope that in some way this will encourage others to continue doing similar work in the future. It also provides for me a stronger link with the Nicholls community, which I have great affection for and which has aided my work in many different ways.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nov. 30, 2017<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>CONTACT: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jacob Batte, Media Relations and Publications Coordinator,\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">985.448.4141<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">jacob.batte@www.nicholls.edu<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; THIBODAUX, La. &#8212; Local author John Desantis will deliver the keynote speech during the 101st commencement ceremony at Nicholls State University.
