Dr. Herman Hudson and IU in a time of transition

Let it be said, without hyperbole of any kind, that no mere exhibit can do justice to the accomplishments of Dr. Herman Hudson.

That he gained institutional recognition for African-Americans on the IU Bloomington campus during a time of racial turmoil is proof of his historic position in the narrative of Indiana University.

This exhibit attempts to represent those turbulent times and the efforts of Herman Hudson to create an environment that was encouraging to black students and one in which they could fulfill dreams perhaps inconceivable to generations that had gone before them.

Take a walk back in time... a time of afro hairstyles, dashikis, Black Power Salutes and political rhetoric...

Can you dig it?  I knew that you could!
