INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Historical Society (IHS) is launching “Project Take a Stand: Listening to the Voices of Protest,” expanding its collecting initiative of African American history in Indiana to include issues of police brutality, systemic racism and efforts to stand up against these issues.
Hoosiers throughout the state are encouraged to send writings, photos, drawings and even short videos of recent or past events to IHS via an online form — helping IHS collect and preserve the different perspectives and experiences of protest. To submit your stories, photos and other items, please visit: indianahistory.org/stand. For information on how to send larger files, please email takeastand@indianahistory.org.
Since 1830, the IHS has collected and preserved items that document Indiana’s past, everything from letters, diaries and scrapbooks to photographs, albums and graphics.
