The event that I attended was a lecture and book signing by David Margolick, the author of Elizabeth and Hazel: Two Women of Little Rock. The well-organized event was sponsored by the writing center.

Afterwards, the audience got a chance to participate in a question and answer session with Margolick. It was nice to be able to interact and hear questions being answered about things he didn’t mention during his lecture or in the book.

    I felt personally impacted by Isay’s Ted Talk because I have also gone through the difficult journey of acceptance of a loved one’s differences. As a member of the LGBT community, the Stonewall riots are a particularly interesting historical event for myself and the rest of my community. The fact that Isay was able to draw inspiration from the Stonewall riots is very inspirational to me. I absolutely adore the idea of Story Corps because I believe that it has to power to unite people who would otherwise not be informed about a perspective, other than their own. Transcribing human history is of the utmost importance if we wish for civilization to persist. However, Isay is adding a nuance to the traditional historical archives, and that is the…

    On August 26th, IHCDA is will be hosting the Indiana Housing Conference at the J.W. Marriott and are pleased to announce that our keynote speaker will be the distinguished photographer, Tom Casalini. We wanted to highlight his background before discussing his current project we are looking to showcase. Tom attended Indiana University and New York Institute of Photography. After working in Georgia for a period of time, he eventually returned to Indiana as Indiana’s official state photographer. ‘Ordinary Heroes’ and ‘Famous Hoosiers’ are a couple galleries that he has previously completed which attest to his ability to portray symbolic figures on a personal level. In his piece ‘Ordinary Heroes’ he captures the individuality of Medal of Honor recipients and highlights who they are as people in street clothes, just as normal people who have performed admirable services of duty for their country. In his piece ‘Famous Hoosiers’ he captured Indiana natives like Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Fuzzy Zoeller, John Mellancamp, John Wooden, Jim Davis and more to celebrate some of the most acclaimed Hoosiers and their way they represent Indiana through their industries.
