What I learned today/ Indiana Isn't that Bad

From a conversation I had today, I discovered that Shirley Graham Dubois, the wife of W.E.B. DuBois, is from Indianapolis. Quite interesting. Indiana is not all that bad,especially where white folks are NOT of concern. I am aware and have known that there was (and perhaps is?) quite a scene in this state. Haki Madhabuti is in Gary, the Black Panthers were in Gary and Indianapolis, Nikki Giovanni was in Kokomo, and one of Lena Horne's uncle's published a Black newspaper out of Indianapolis. The National Black Caucus was here ( with Jesse, et al) back in the late 70s, and one cannot fail to mention the history of the Mennonites, the Quakers, and other progressives in this state.
