- **Event Description**: Conversations in Indiana’s African American History” is a monthly gathering of voices—historians, researchers, and educators—who deepen our understanding of the African American experience in Indiana, past and present. 

Featuring Dr. Jakobi Williams, September’s session is a community-centered exploration of Black history, political power, and preservation.

Grounded in the principle "When we vote, we win," Dr. Williams examines Black voting rights as a tool for collective community power. He highlights the historic 1972 National Black Political Convention in Gary, Indiana—which placed the state at the forefront of national Black politics—and connects that legacy to today’s fights over voter access, education, and Black Studies.

Why Attend? If you love history, resilience, and stories of brilliance that refused to be sidelined, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
