Hidden
Figures: Black History Month Maps Program in Muncie
The
Ball State University Libraries’ GIS Research and Map Collection (GRMC) will be
presenting a program featuring maps celebrating Black History Month. The program will be on Tuesday, February 28
from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Cornerstone Center for the Arts in downtown
Muncie.
The
class, Hidden Figures: Celebrating the
Untold Stories of Black History, will feature custom maps created by the
GRMC. The maps depict the lives of some
of the lesser known figures and events in African American history, including
maps about civil rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer (above, click to enlarge), fashion designer Ann Lowe, the
civil rights movement in Indiana, the use of the popular “Green Books,” and the
life of Muncie leader Hurley Goodall.
The
class is free and open to the public.
The Cornerstone Center for the Arts is located at 520 East Main Street,
and the program is in the Colonnade Room.
Free parking is available on the north side of the building.
