The Indiana Town Hall Series is a collection of public forums hosted at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick
Indiana History Center that features public conversations that foster community dialogue on a
contemporary issue or topic. The dialogue is informed by historical background and expert commentary
provided by panels of local experts and practitioners. The series serves as an invaluable civic resource
for the city of Indianapolis in that it provides a free forum where members of the community can discuss
some of the most challenging issues facing our state and society.
On October 6, IUPUI School of Public and Environmental Affairs professor Sheila Seuss Kennedy will
discuss the historic nature of social justice in American democracy. A conversation-focused panel
featuring local youth and youth organizations will then examine what social justice means in today’s
world. This moderated discussion will be led by Dr. David Craig (IUPUI Religious Studies) and will feature
student-activists with the Latino Youth Collective as well as representatives from the Marion County
Commission on Youth and IUPUI’s “Democracy Plaza.”
