Join us for our monthly conversation with historians, researchers, and educators as we discuss topics related to Indiana’s Black heritage. Our presenters will be Kisha Tandy,Curator of Social History, Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites, and Zola Lamothe, activist and photographer.
Discover the powerful history of a once-thriving Black neighborhood in Indianapolis—displaced to make way for the IU Indianapolis campus. This presentation invites you to explore the lives, legacies, and community bonds that were uprooted, and to reflect on what was lost. Through archival materials, photographs, and personal narratives, our presenters honor the resilience of those affected and highlight the importance of preserving displaced communities’ heritage.
