Louisiana Court of Appeal May 1, 1967, No. 2573 (State ex rel. Pritchard v. Louisiana State Board of Health ex rel. Armistead)

CHASEZ, Judge.

Relator, Louise Cousin Pritchard, brought this action in mandamus to compel the Louisana State Board of Health, through its president, Dr. T. N. Armistead, to correct her birth certificate, which designates her as “COLORED”, to reflect that she is a member of the white race.

The defendant responded and refused to comply with the plaintiff’s demand.
