| Summary: | This article focuses on conflicts over appropriated black residential and cultural land spaces in downtown Indianapolis and on tensions over competing narrations and conceptualizations of the historical meanings of these neighborhood formations and re-formations. The analysis pays particular attention to ways material remnants of historic black buildings in the District retain memory of and impart truths about previously constructed black worlds, including ongoing sacred significance attributed to this historic black location. Juxtapositions of the past and present are captured through descriptive analysis and through photographic illustrations. |
