In the summer of 1971, an inaugural event emerged in the State
of Indiana that would continue to grow in the hearts and minds of
citizens for years to come. The turbulent 60's provided an uncertain
backdrop for an experiment to showcase the social, cultural and
religious achievements of blacks in Indiana. A three- day celebration
was created, held at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in the Manufacturers
Building and Coliseum, attracting over 50,000 interested individuals
and groups who chose to become a part of the legacy called Indiana
Black Expo.
