Indianapolis has long been steeped in important moments in African
American history, from businesswoman Madame C. J. Walker's success
to the rise of the Ku Klux Klan to the founding of Crispus Attucks
High School, which remained segregated through the 1960s. In
African Americans in Indianapolis, author and historian David
Leander Williams explores this history by examining the daunting
and horrendous historical events African Americans living in
Indianapolis encountered between 1820 and 1970, as well as the
community's determination to overcome these challenges. Revealing
many events that have yet to be recorded in history books,
textbooks, or literature, Williams chronicles the lives and careers
of many influential individuals and the organizations that worked
tirelessly to open doors of opportunity to the entire African
American community. African Americans in Indianapolis serves as a
reminder of the advancements that Black midwestern ancestors made
toward freedom and equality, as well as the continual struggle
against inequalities that must be overcome.
