"Attucks: The School that Opened a City" Film Description: 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, to denigrate, ultimately to fail. Instead, it produced generals and scholars, surgeons and scientists, world-class musicians and athletes. Most important, over time these successes, and the grace that accompanied them, became a grass-roots agent for integration, winning over the younger generation of Indy's whites, changing the way many thought about race. 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.

Hoosier Spotlight Nights also has a Q&A screening of "Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time" on Thursday, April 21.
