In July of 2006, a diverse group gathered at Corydon’s historic Leora Brown School to hear the remembrances of a special nonagenarian named Ethel Porter. The location was appropriate, for Ethel was there to speak about her experiences growing up in Indiana’s segregated school systems.
The library staff was there to capture these stories and the recently uncovered video is now available to share. You are invited to rediscover this program each Saturday during Black History Month.
Viewings will run on the hour between 10 am and 4 pm each remaining Saturday during February. Stop in to learn more about Ethel, the Leora Brown School, Harrison County’s rich Black history, and more!
(Don’t worry if you can’t make it in person, the videos will be added to the library programming page on the website at the end of the month.)
