About this Event

The Garveyite Movement in Indianapolis (1919 - 1940) "


Join us for our monthly conversation with historians, researchers, and educators as we discuss topics related to Indiana’s Black heritage. Our presenters will be Eunice Trotter, Director of Indiana Landmark’s Black Heritage Preservation Program.

From 1919 through the 1940s, Indianapolis hosted two divisions of Marcus Garvey’s United Negro Improvement Association, part of the largest mass self‑determination movement of African Americans in history. Featuring some of the city’s most influential leaders, the organization thrived before ultimately fading, leaving behind a powerful legacy and lessons from its demise.

🗓️ Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with a vital chapter of our city’s history. Your presence helps ensure these stories are remembered, respected, and retold.

  • In Person: Doors open at 5:30 p.m. at Indiana Landmarks Center and talk begins at 6:00 p.m.
  • Online: Livestream will begin at 6:00 p.m.

No need to request both an in‑person and online ticket—we’ll automatically send the access link to everyone about two hours before the event, just in case your plans change!
