VISITING THE INDIANA STATE MUSEUM

Celebrate Dr. King’s dream and explore the ongoing struggle for civil rights and equity in America. Videos will highlight Dr. King’s most iconic speeches, and activities and a performance from Meraki Dance Company will explore civil and human rights. Visit Legacy Theater to view a copy of the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment and, from 12 to 3 p.m., speak with Chief Curator and Research Officer Susannah Koerber. Reflect on what you can do to ensure the dream lives on.

In lieu of canned goods and non-perishable food items, visitors are encouraged to make monetary donations of any amount via Dip Jars to Gleaners Food Bank.
