Join prominent historians in a panel discussion on the importance of Black newspapers to the construction of the historical narrative.
Historical newspapers are critical resources to our work as educators, historians, and researchers. Newspapers provide the dates, names and locations that provide the foundation of our searches and lead us in new directions. The Black press is extremely important because in the absence of missing historical records and documentation, newspapers serve as a chronicle of Black stories.
Panelists will examine the advocacy, grace, history, and power of four pivotal Black newspapers: the Christian Recorder, Indianapolis Freeman, Indianapolis Colored World, and Indianapolis Recorder.
Featuring:
Susan L. Hall-Dotson – African American Collections Curator, Indiana Historical Society
Dr. Les Etienne – Director of Africana Studies and Clinical Assistant Professor in Africana Studies, IUPUI
Nichelle M. Hayes MPA, MLS – Founding Director of the Center for Black Literature and Culture, President, Black Caucus of the American Library Association
Kisha Tandy - Curator of Social History, Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites.
This program is presented by The Charlitta and Robin Winston Family Fund for African American History with support by ASALH.
