The record — long form
Carville is the only — the national leprosarium that was the mainland's sole, the 1894 Louisiana Leper Home. The patients were the activists — the 'Star' newspaper that they published, the 'Hansen's disease' that they renamed. The Daughters were the Charity — the nuns who came '96, the care that they gave.
The escape was the Early — the patient who fled to testify, the Congress that heard him. The cure was the found — the treatments that were developed, the '99 closure that's the museum. Carville is the stigma's — the isolation that was the sentence, the rights that were fought for.
The file keeps Carville: the 1894 leprosarium, the patient activism, the Daughters of Charity, and the cure.
