An exhibit that originally debuted at Indiana Black Expo in 1988, Caretakers of the Future, examines the roles that children have played over the years while growing up in the black community. Drawing from the IHS's large Indianapolis Recorder Collection, the exhibit presents snapshots of children at work and at play. Subjects spotlighted include sports teams and student groups in the once segregated Indianapolis Public Schools system, churches, the Flanner House and other community service organizations, and photos of kids simply being kids.
Other Black History exhibits available for IHS include Building on Faith and African-American Businesses in Indianapolis
