People of color have a long and fascinating history in the state of Indiana. Admitted to the Union as a free state 200 years ago, the state still was home to slaves, with slaveholders employing a variety of tricks to skirt the law and keep people in virtual bandage to them. Playwrights Dr. Gladys DeVane and Liz Watford-Mitchell as well as director Danielle Bruce will stage the original multimedia production “Resilience: Indiana’s Untold Story,” a re-telling through their vivid imaginations of dark-skinned people’s stories here in the Hoosier State. The play will run at the John Waldron Arts Center, October 14th through the 16th. The three join Michael Glab on this week’s edition of Big Talk.
