This afternoon, city officials and leaders from Bloomington’s business community gathered under a tent in the grass field next to city hall in downtown.
Buffeted by heavy winds, officials from Bloomington’s Economic Development Commission, Redevelopment Commission, and consultants with Black Line Studio spoke about their aspirations for the city’s 65 acre tech park.

BICENTENNIAL JOURNAL
Bill Garrett was the first African-American college basketball player at Indiana University. While Major League Baseball and National Football were moving towards desegregation, Garrett would spend his entire college career without playing against another black player.
Bob Hammel tells Garrett’s story, and the story of desegregation in college basketball, in this week’s edition of The Bicentennial Journal—looking back on 200 years of history in South Central Indiana.
