An continuing legal education program will take a look at the significance and demise of “El Barrio,” Indianapolis’s first known Hispanic neighborhood, which was razed in the 1960s to make way for the city’s interstate system.
The free event, hosted by the Indiana State Bar Association and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, will be held online and in person on Oct. 8 at 2 p.m. in the William E. Steckler Ceremonial Courtroom at the Birch Bayh Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in downtown Indianapolis.
The panel presentation will highlight El Barrio’s position as a cultural center for the area’s Latino community and how its presence represents the intersection of law, history, public policy, and lessons learned for development in the city.
Panels include Nicole Martinez-LeGrand, curator of multicultural collections at the Indiana Historical Society and director of the documentary “Beyond El Barrio”; Brenda Freije, president and CEO of Rethink Coalition; and Jordan Ryan, city-county archivist for Indianapolis.
The program is one hour long and will count for one hour of CLE credit. Pre-registration for the event is required and can be completed online.
The program is also open to the public.
