Ciné-Causerie: Francophonie nord-américaine: entre diversité et fierté linguistique

Jack Kirouac Mural
St. Jean Baptiste Church

Congratulations to our friends in Lowell for this new addition to their city!  Check it out next time you're in Lowell, MA!
A threat of rain couldn’t keep ardent Kerouackians from attending the official dedication of a new mural at the site of Lowell’s former St. Jean Baptiste church in what used to be Lowell’s Little Canada.

The mural was commissioned by the Jack Kerouac Estate as part of a proposal to convert the property for use as a performing arts center, Kerouac museum, and possible restaurant and educational space. The mural’s dedication took place on October 13 as part of the annual Lowell Celebrates Kerouac Festival.
