CFA Member Folios |
Some of you had asked about these leather folios that are used to
organize the Commission?s documents at the table when we meet in
person. These folders are not particularly historic, but are maybe
about 20-25 years old (and I think replaced older ones). Note that
they have to be updated periodically, and this last happened in 2021?
so Lisa, Bruce, and Bill haven?t been added yet. Sadly, the
workmanship on the last additions of stamped names wasn?t nearly to
the quality of the existing ones!

Alum's photography reflects how IUPUI's beginning displaced Black people |
Our family was featured in an article about what occupied the space that is currently IUPUI. Our grandparents and our aunt lived at 427 Agnes in 1928.
Showcasing 'the life of Indiana Avenue'
For the Moores, participating in the photoshoot allowed them to explore a new side of their family history_.
Covington remembers their family used to have dinner together every Sunday night when she was growing up. They often congregated at one of her aunt's houses in the Ransom Place neighborhood.
Zola Lamothe is recreating historic scenes from what was a Black neighborhood before IUPUI arrived. Credit: Lee Klafczynski for Mirror Indy "The life of Indiana Avenue was the people, not just the physical street," Lamothe said. 'I really want people to have pride and gratitude for the communities and the families that lived here."
As Covington, who's now nearly 90, sat around the dinner table during Lamothe's photoshoot, she thought of those weekly gatherings she attended as a kid. But she also wondered what her ancestors would say if they knew their old neighborhood had become a college campus.
"I didn't know my grandparents, but I was thinking about what they would say if they lived in this particular area now the university's there with the big buildings and the nice campuses," Covington said.

The Jacobs Brothers Funeral Home of Indianapolis, Indiana, was co-founded by the Rev. Plummer D. Jacobs and his younger brother, the Rev. Cary Duval Jacobs. They were natives of Dudley, Wayne County, North Carolina, and sons of Solomon and Elizabeth Jacobs. Plummer was born on May 10, 1897, and first appears in the Indianapolis city directory in 1930. The following year, he is listed as manager of the Lucas B. Willis Funeral Home. Cary was born November 2, 1901, and joined his brother in Indianapolis in the early 1930s. By 1933, the brothers had co-founded Jacobs Brothers Funeral Home at 1207 N. West Street. They later operated the business in two locations in the city at 1239 N. West Street and 2401 Martindale Avenue.
Plummer Jacobs was also a longtime assistant pastor of the Mount Paran Baptist Church in Indianapolis and died in April 1980. His widow, Lavenia B. Jacobs, continued in the funeral business in Indianapolis, most recently as a partner in the Lavenia, Smith & Summers Home for Funerals.
Cary Jacobs was a lawyer as well as a minister and funeral director. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina, his master?s degree from Columbia University and his law degree from Fordham University in New York City. He married Jessie Keys in 1935. Active in the Marion County Bar Association and numerous civic organizations, he was also an associate minister of the Allen Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Following his death on April 21, 1977, his widow, Jessie Keys Jacobs, continued to own and operate the Jacobs Brothers Funeral Home. She was active in civic affairs, being elected to the Indianapolis Board of School Commissioners from 1970 to 1974, and was also the first black woman to run for the state legislature. She died in Indianapolis on September 3, 2007. |

An interview by William "Bill" Smitherman during the launch of his book. Smitherman's firm, AMAS specializes in blending equal opportunity training with problem-solving processes. His business focuses primarily on employment, human and civil rights issues, and strategic planning outcomes for small businesses and not-for-profit businesses and organizations. |
Perhaps even more inspiring than his exceptional career in civil rights and mediation is the legacy he is forging through a series of children's books about Henry Lee Turtle. |
