Conversations in African American History and Culture: “She Has Done What She Could”

Event Details

In 2024, Freetown Village continues its monthly conversations with historians, researchers, and educators to discuss topics related to Indiana’s Black heritage.

November’s program features Kisha Tandy, curator of social history at the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites, who presents “She Has Done What She Could: The Life and Legacy of Educator Ada B. Harris.” Tandy will explore the life of Ada Harris (1866–1927), who served the community of Norwood in the classroom and beyond, building a legacy of community uplift and service.

The event, which includes a question-and-answer session, will be presented both in person and online via Zoom. Registration is required for both in-person and online attendance. Click on the RSVP link above to register for both the in-person and online options.
