SUMMARY:Nourishing Democracy: Healthy IPS School Board Elections
DESCRIPTION:Constitutional republics must be nourished to stay viable. As school board elections offer a microcosm of democracy\, what does IPS board history teach us about the democratic process and what citizens can do to nurture their own sense of civic empowerment? \nOnce regulated to the May Primary\, Indianapolis school board elections are now large and expensive early November events. Debate from a plurality of perspectives is needed for a healthy democracy and a vigorous public education system. So is an understanding of local history. In the early 1920s\, little to no competition existed in school board races which were ostensibly run by the Citizens School Committee. This is the era that deeply segregated and segmented Indianapolis’s public schools into a caste system. As recent media stories have shown\, modern school board elections are being inundated with outside money – and agendas – that threaten to shape public schools in ways the community may not want. Using primary sources and recent news articles\, attendees will be divided into working groups to compare and contrast the past to the present in an effort to plan for the future. Visual arts\, poetry\, and music will further help attendees appreciate the challenges democracy faces while inspiring them to stay engaged and active. \nQuestions? Contact 317-998-1339 or johnharrisloflin@yahoo.com. \nAudience Notes: Doors open at 6pm for guests to interact with the exhibits. Programming begins at 7pm. \nEvent Partners: Charles E. Loflin & Virginia P. Vornehm-Loflin Center on IPS History\, the Black & Latino Policy Institute\, Virgil and Sheila Boyd\, Wyse Ra\, Rev. Dr. Thomas L. Brown\, and artists Dr. Monday\, Clyde Gaw\, and Clockwork Janz. \nEvent Registration: Registration requested by Nov. 9. Walk-ins welcome!

SUMMARY:Fear\, Mercy\, and the Nature of Us
DESCRIPTION:Limited capacity. Registration encouraged. \nInspired by the poems Allowables by Nikki Giovanni and Mercy by Rudy Francisco this event explores the roots of our fears and the quiet\, transformative power of mercy. Facilitated by Deborah Asante\, participants will engage in guided writing\, creative reflection\, and optional group sharing in a safe and supportive environment. \nThrough the power of poetry and writing\, this event examines and explores how the nature of fear and mercy shape us as individuals and a society. Engage in guided conversation about how we respond to what we do not understand. Write short reflections\, letters\, or poems and contribute a word or phrase to a collaborative community art piece called the Web of Mercy. Set in a calm and creative space\, the program offers time for meaningful dialogue\, quiet reflection\, and artistic expression\, leaving participants with a deeper sense of how the sacred choice of mercy can shape both our inner lives and our relationships with others. \nQuestions? Contact 317-274-2462 or info@blackworldschoolers.com. \nEvent Organizers: A partnership between Black Worldschoolers Mobile Bookstore and Imani Willis-Henderson. \nRegistration: Click here to register. \n \n
