Episode 031 features an interview with Indianapolis guests Catherine Hughes, Director of Interpretation & Evaluation at Conner Prairie, and Keesha Dixon, Executive Director of Asante Children's Theatre. The two have collaborated on a unique project called "Giving Voice: African-Americans' Presence in Indiana's History," which has generated new community engagement opportunities and greater exposure, and presented the stories and history of the African-American community.
