Enjoy a screening of he documentary, “Attucks: A School That Opened a City.”

Built during the ugliest decade in Indiana history and when the Ku Klux Klan had influence throughout the state, all-black Crispus Attucks High School was intended to isolate, denigrate, and ultimately fail. Instead, it produced generals and scholars, surgeons and scientists, world-class musicians and athletes – generations of contributors to a society that initially scorned them. Most importantly, Attucks helped trigger a sea change in race relations in Indianapolis and still stands as a national model of what can be done under the most difficult circumstances.

Included with paid admission to the museum.
