FWIW, black turnout in the primary was 28%; I don't see why it would dip under 25%, much less down to 20%.

In the 2011 primary, which was the sleepiest Gov race in a while, it was 25.5%.

It actually increased for Landrieu in 2014 : 28.8% in the primary and up to 30.3% in the runoff.

^ Yeah, I'm still seeing stories about it in local media. One of the popular talk show hosts, Jim Ensgter, for example, yesterday did a show with a lawyer that Vitter's PI targeted.
