The Indiana Commission on the Social Status of Black Males (ICSSBM) hosted their 2015 State Conference in mid-October, bringing startling facts and statistics to the forefront for attendees and viewers. Following the conference discussions sparked regarding numerous issues facing African American males and Hoosiers in general, including: criminal justice, education, employment, and social factors relating to the family. In order to keep these discussions flowing and foster more civic engagement the ICSSBM is traveling throughout the State of Indiana for Community RoundTable Nights. These events will be forums that allow local community members to speak with each other, community leaders and resource providers.
