Conversations in Indiana's African American History with Dr. Jakobi Williams
Overview
We're Not Going Anywhere, and We Won't Be Erased!
Join us for a community-centered presentation with Dr. Jakobi Williams exploring African American history, political power, and the ongoing struggle to keep Black voices central to the story of Indiana and the nation. Grounded in the principle "When we vote, we win," Dr. Williams examines Black voting rights as a vital form of collective power. He will highlight the historic 1972 National Black Political Convention in Gary, Indiana—a moment that put our state at the center of national Black politics—and connect that legacy to modern struggles over voter access, education, and history preservation.
Join us for this powerful conversation and help ensure these vital stories continue to be remembered, respected, and retold.
The event is free, but registration is required to attend.
