Civil Rights Heritage Center

I live in South Bend so I pop it occasionally to see whats going on. In addition to in-person, check out some of their audio offerings available through their website. Look for South Bend’s Own Words. There is a very fine podcast available right now on housing in South Bend. In particular the August 2022 podcast highlights stories and struggles of African Americans who sought housing here from 1948 to the late 60’s. The tape is 26 minutes long but cover covers decades of history.

I thought this would be a great educational experience for Logan Center clients. We came when the building was supposed to be open (half an hour after opening time) and it was closed.

Small venue somewhat comfortable basic chairs. Easily accessible with a wheelchair. Was kind of hot, 80 f outside no ac or fans going during my visit. Extremely courteous and helpful people were everywhere.
