LeBlanc helped to make Louisiana the only English-French bilingual state in the nation through legislation to promote the speaking of French in school. LeBlanc's motivation was remembering his youth when he only spoke French and when school children in Southwest Louisiana were punished by teachers for speaking French in schools. Some children were made to kneel on corn kernels or raw rice, and others were slapped if they spoke French in school.  LeBlanc wanted children to be proud, not ashamed, of their Cajun heritage, culture and language.  LeBlanc was Cajun before Cajun was "cool."​

LeBlanc's contributions to Cajun culture and southwestern Louisiana  were deemed so important that his birth home, a small two-roomed Acadian-style wooden house built between 1821 and 1856, was relocated from his home in the LeBlanc community to Lafayette, Louisiana to the Acadian Village. This authentic re-creation of 19th-century life in Southwest Louisiana is an open living museum featuring homes like Dudley LeBlanc's on a bayou in a 32-acre park, with exhibits, demonstrations and even a chapel where weddings are held.<ref>{{cite web​|url=http://www.acadianvillage.org/#!house-around-the-village/c1hjd​|title=Acadian Village​|publisher=Acadian Village​
