"Where Are My People to Go?:" Violence and Resilience in West Baden
<p class="MsoNormal">For many, French Lick Valley was an idyllic retreat and recreational wonderland. But for Black residents, the Valley was a hotbed of violence and intimidation in the early 1900s. Many had moved to the area from the South to work in the hospitality business. The local community responded to their presence with a series of threatening letters and bombings. While these efforts succeeded in driving out some Black residents, those who remained opened businesses and established recreational opportunities.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">In this new episode of Talking Hoosier History, we explore the resilience of Black French Lick residents despite contending with displacement, vandalism, violence, and eventually the organized efforts of the Klan.</p> <p>This episode of Talking Hoosier History is voiced by Justin Clark, written by Nicole Poletika, and produced by A.J.

Moy Kee: The “Mayor” of Indianapolis’s Chinese Community
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">On May 28, 1904, Chinese immigrants Moy Kee and Chin Fung hosted Chinese imperial royalty at their Indianapolis chop suey restaurant. Prince Pu Lun, the rumored heir to the Qing Dynasty’s imperial throne, was so impressed by the luncheon that he elevated Moy to Mandarin of the Fifth Rank, a prestigious Chinese social status. But how did Moy Kee, an immigrant from the Guangdong Province, end up hosting Chinese royalty? How did he gain so much influence in Indianapolis during the height of Chinese exclusion and Sinophobia? The story is a fascinating one that raises an even deeper questions that the United States still wrestles with today: What does it mean to be an American citizen? And who gets to be a citizen and who doesn’t?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">This new episode of Talking Hoosier History is voiced by Justin Clark, written by Kelsey Green, and produced by A.J.
