Celebrate local Knox County black history and take a visual journey through the eyes
of Knox County’s 20th-century black life in Knox County, Indiana. Longtime residents of Knox County and
those who have ventured out and returned will share family and individual photos and
stories of the black experience from the early 1900s through the turn of the century.
Learn about local legends like Cap Embry and historical institutions like Second Baptist
and Dunbar School. This event promises to be both engaging and informative.
Admission is free. The event is open to the public and the media is invited. Refreshments
will be served.
