Event Details
Throughout 2026, Freetown Village presents monthly conversations with historians, researchers, and educators to discuss topics related to Indiana’s Black heritage.
July’s program features Bryan Glover, vice president and board chair of Roberts Settlement, a historic community founded in 1835 in northern Hamilton County, Indiana, by free people of color seeking freedom, opportunity, and self‑determination. Glover will share the story of Roberts Settlement and how the community has endured, adapted, and thrived for nearly two centuries through faith, resilience, and lasting bonds that have connected generations.
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.
