Save the Date: Ball State University Freedom Bus Immersive Learning Project Showcase
The Freedom Bus project began when the Muncie Indiana Transit System
(MITS) provided the Martin Luther King, Jr. Dream Team with a retired bus to
transform into a mobile civil rights museum.
The mission of the project is to educate and celebrate the civil rights
history of East Central Indiana. The bus
is now moving into the next phase of its journey.
The Freedom Bus was given to a group of Ball State University students
for an immersive learning project for the fall semester. The students were responsible for researching
the civil rights history of East Central Indiana and creating, building, and
installing exhibit prototypes within the bus.
This showcase will allow the community to examine the prototypes and
learn about the students’ work.
The Virginia B. Ball Center
for Creative Inquiry, the City of Muncie, the Muncie Human Rights Commission,
and the Ball State University Center for Peace and Conflict Studies are
sponsoring the showcase at the Muncie Boys and Girls Club (1710 South Madison
Street) on December 4. Bus tours will be
presented from 7:00 to 8:00 pm, and the presentation runs from 8:00 to 9:00 pm.
For more information about
the showcase, please contact the Virginia Ball Center at 765-285-0117 or email
the Center. To attend, please RSVP
before November 26.
