CURRENT ISSUE - MARCH 2012
The Road to Freedom is Long and Winding: Jewish Involvement in the Indianapolis Civil Rights Movement
By Krista Kinslow
- In this local study of the history of Jewish and African American cooperation in the civil rights movement, the author examines the work of the Indianapolis Jewish Community Relations Council from the late 1940s through the 1960s. The JCRC worked with officials from the NAACP and other black organizations on issues ranging from discrimination in public facilities (including movie theaters and the city's Riverside Amusement Park) to fair housing (including the construction of the Flanner House Homes in the 1950s) and the desegregation of public schools.
What Happened at Conner Prairie? An IMH Roundtable
- Four experts in public history and philanthropy discuss the conflict that raged from 2003 to 2005 between Earlham College and the Conner Prairie Interactive History Park, based upon the recently published Twilight at Conner Prairie: The Creation, Betrayal, and Rescue of a Museum by Berkley W. Duck III. Duck, a member of the Conner Prairie board that was summarily dismissed by Earlham in 2003, became one of the leaders of a group that sought to take the museum back from the college's control. Roundtable members discuss issues raised by the controversy for other museums and public history sites; current Conner Prairie CEO Ellen Rosenthal responds to the comments.

By Modupe Labode

The experiences of the central character -James Cameron, the only survivor of the lynchings-provide opportunities for the audience to consider the difficult and changing relations between history and memory, especially when refracted through the lens of race.
