Join us for our monthly conversation with historians, researchers, and educators as we discuss topics related to Indiana’s Black heritage. Our speakers will be Joseph Tucker Edmonds, PhD and Kim Williams-Pulfer, PhD. Their presentation will explore the history of Black women philanthropists in Indianapolis and how they developed a model of ‘trust-based’ philanthropy to build and control key Black cultural institutions in the city of Indianapolis. This overview of Black philanthropic creativity and ingenuity throughout the twentieth century will provide important insights to contemporary cultural institutions as they assess their autonomy and sustainability. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. at Indiana Landmarks, 1201 Central Ave, Indianapolis, and talk begins at 6 p.m. in person and online. Free with registration.
