This discussion will focus on the history of Indianapolis’ near-Westside, which was the heart of the city’s African American community from the late-19th century until the 1960s. Historical and archaeological research will be presented that examines life in the segregated neighborhoods around Indiana Avenue. The talk will discuss the transformation and displacement wrought by Indiana University, highway construction, and urban renewal projects and the contemporary potential for reflective heritage projects focused on these histories.
