Herron-Morton - LGBTQ+ Life in the Heart of Indianapolis
2:00pm - 3:30pm
Central Library
Expanding Our Story: LGBTQ+ History & Herron–Morton Place
From the mid-1970s through the late 1980s, a period following the Civil Rights Movement, when queer communities transformed space into cultural sanctuaries and enclaves of resistance, Herron-Morton Place served as a site of community-building, cultural production, often clandestine political organizing, and urban revitalization. Join us in person at the Central Library in the Indianapolis Special Collections Room (ISCR) to explore Herron-Morton Place, a historic neighborhood and central hub of LGBTQ+ life in Indianapolis. Made possible by a grant from The Clowes Fund.
Presented by: Dr. Michael Baumann is an educator and poet with roots in Indianapolis institutions, including the Indiana Writers Center, Marian University, Indiana Youth Group, and Ivy Tech Community College. His research, which often explores identity and writing, has appeared in periodicals such as the Journal of Creative Writing Studies, the Journal of Teaching Writing, and Education Sciences. Having performed across the country, his poetry has been featured locally by the Writers Guild at Bloomington and InKY, and most recently as poet in residence with The Learning Tree (a local nonprofit) and with Indiana University’s Religion, Spirituality, and The Arts grant.
Resources: This program will combine queer archival research, oral histories, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) based digital humanities to make the patterns of this history visible.
