SUMMARY:They Stood Up: The Story of the Pendleton 2 & the Indiana Prisoner Rebellion of 1985
DESCRIPTION:View a screening of The Pendleton 2: They Stood Up\, a groundbreaking new documentary that tells the story of political prisoners John “Balagoon” Cole and Christopher “Naeem” Trotter\, the leaders of the 1985 Indiana prison uprising that saved a man’s life. Directed by Too Black and TheKingTrill. \nThough thousands live inside prisons in Indiana\, their stories rarely make it out. This event seeks to foster bonds of understanding between those inside and outside of prison by exploring the events of 1985 – which were a reaction to a lack of nourishment. Those incarcerated in Pendleton Correctional Facility were being denied food\, comfort\, safety\, and intellectual care. Their uprising was in direct response to a multifaceted starvation of mind\, body\, and spirit. Learn about this little discussed moment in Indiana’s history and the continued efforts at seeking justice for Cole and Trotter. \nQuestions? Contact 317-274-2462 or thependleton2@gmail.com. \nEvent Partners: Defense Committee for the Pendleton 2 and IDOC Watch. \nEvent Registration: Registration requested by Nov. 7. Walk-ins welcome!

SUMMARY:CANCELLED Reviving a Forgotten Freetown: Mobilizing Family History to Protect Communities
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. WE ARE SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE. \nDuring this half-day workshop\, we will explore how the small African American community of Norwood was able to mobilize their family history to protect their community from unwelcome change. This hands-on program will allow us to help participants organize their family stories into community histories using newly developed “archival kits.” Intergenerational (12+) but younger children welcome. \nLearn about the history of the Norwood\, a neighborhood on the southeast side of Indianapolis\, founded in the 1860s with the arrival of soldiers who had served in the 28th U.S. Colored Troops during the American Civil War. Ongoing historical research and the creation of community archives are helping preserve this unique cultural asset and this workshop aims to help participants gain the skills in preserving their own family and community histories. \nThe workshop will consist of a history lesson on Norwood followed by hands-on activities in which participants will discover the best methods for building their own archives to tell their own stories on their own terms using newly developed take-home archival kits. By creating new histories that allow historically marginalized communities to be centered\, the workshop aims to uplift people by creating a space where they can define themselves and feel the embodied sense of pride and community that this recognition gives. \nDesigned as an intergenerational gathering\, this event is great for elders\, parents\, and youth age 12+. But if you have younger children\, please bring them with you! WE will have adapted materials available for them to explore. More details will be shared after registration\, but attendees should plan to bring family photos\, documents\, and other materials with them to analyze. \nPartnership between Norwood Community Archives\, Center for Africana Studies & Culture\, and Center for Black Literature & Culture. \nContact event organizers at 317-777-5020 or norwoodcommunityarchives@gmail.com. \nSeating limited to 10 families (2—4 people per group). RSVP by Oct. 25.  \nRegister below. \nImage Courtesy: Norwood Community Archives. Penick-Meyers Family Collection\, Ms Flinora Frazier

SUMMARY:Where’d You Go to High School? Analyzing a Century of the IPS Caste System
DESCRIPTION:Where we went to high school tells a lot about how we see ourselves and how others see us. Join a session where you and other local grads are challenged to understand identity by analyzing a century-old IPS high school pyramid of caste\, power\, and prestige through art\, poetry\, and conversation. \nThough we might not think it’s important\, when the question “Where’d you go to high school?” is asked\, most people know why. Our answer identifies us\, making public our social\, economic\, and cultural background. This is important for our city. Over the past century\, Indianapolis created a divided and unjust system of schools sorting/ranking students by neighborhood\, race\, class\, ethnicity\, religion\, and ability. This caste system betrayed Horace Mann’s promise that our public schools would be the great “equalizer\,” a level playing field with equal opportunity for all. \nGuests at this event will be challenged\, via primary sources\, art\, poetry\, and story sharing\, to go deeper\, emphasizing important connections to power structures and how we’ve all been used by the system to uphold those systems which have exerted control and influence over public education. Attendees will leave understanding it is worth their time to pay attention to the high school forces that shaped their identity and will be better able to identify current (and future) forces shaping local schools\, youth\, and neighborhoods. \n5PM – Doors open. Check-in begins.\n5:30-6PM – Poster board activity reflecting on IPS’s past and present (11) high schools\n6-6:30PM – Welcome\, Introductions\, & Art Presentations\n6:30-7:30PM – Small Group Discussions\n7:30-8:30PM – Group Report Outs\, Discussion\, and Conclusion \nArtist and poet presentations feature Dr. Monday\, Kaila Austin\, and Glyde Gaw.  \nOn-site discussion consultants are IPS graduates Guy Russell (Shortridge)\, John Loflin (Harry E. Wood)\, Sheila Boyd (Crispus Attucks)\, and Dr. Thomas Brown (Arsenal Tech).  \nA partnership between Charles E. & Virginia P. Vornehm-Loflin Center on IPS History\, Kheprw Institute\, Rev. Dr. Thomas L. Brown\, Virgil Boyd & Sheila Boyd\, Guy Russell\, Kaila Austin\, Clyde Gaw\, Wyse Ra\, and Black & Latino Policy Institute.  \nContact the event organizers at 317-998-1339 or johnharrisloflin@yahoo.com. \nWalk-ins welcome\, but registration is strongly encouraged by Nov. 10.  \nRegister below.
