Details

Built while the Ku Klux Klan ran the state and Hoosiers’ everyday racist roots pushed deeper still, Indianapolis’ all-black Crispus Attucks High School was designed to isolate, denigrate, and ultimately to fail. Instead, it produced generals and scholars, surgeons and scientists, world-class musicians and athletes. Directed by award-winning documentarian Ted Green, this film is at times an outrageous story, at times beautiful and uplifting, but ultimately nationally important as a microcosm of the injustices faced and overcome by African-Americans in the 20th century. Stay for a Q&A following the film with Director Ted Green. Tickets are $15 for the public, $10 for IHS members. Tickets go on sale March 24.
