From The Indianapolis News, Saturday, April 1, 1922: Beginning tomorrow, the eighth national Negro Health Week will be observed in Indianapolis by the Marion County Tuberculosis Society in cooperation with local clubs, churches, and civic improvement organizations. Illustrated talks will be given on hygiene, tuberculosis, nutrition, and infant welfare at Mt. Paran Baptist Church and in the colored public schools. Helpful health programs will also be carried out by school pupils. Representatives from the Council of Federated Colored Clubs will distribute posters and literature about the events which include lectures on home gardening and beautifying the home. The Civic League of Norwood plans a neighborhood clean-up, and each family is expected to remove rubbish from its premises. National Negro Health Week is a movement started by Booker T. Washington emphasizing certain menaces to the health of negro people like tuberculosis.
