Mark your calendars for this year’s Founders Day: An Evening with A’Lelia Bundles and Tyrone McKinley Freeman on Thursday, October 17.
A’Lelia (Madam C.J. Walker’s great-great-granddaughter and biographer) and Tyrone (IU’s Glenn Family Chair in Philanthropy) will discuss the importance of the IHS’s collections in preserving and illuminating the rich history of Indiana’s people, places, events and communities. Both will focus primarily on the Madam C.J. Walker Collection, which provided the research foundation for their award-winning books — On Her Own Ground: The Life and Times of Madam C. J. Walker and Madam C. J. Walker’s Gospel of Giving: Black Women’s Philanthropy during Jim Crow.
Tickets will be $100 per person for the program; $150 per person for the program and the dessert meet-and-greet with A’Lelia and Tyrone after the program. Funds raised from the event will support IHS’s collections and conservation program.
