Created in partnership with Muncie Juneteenth, this powerful exhibition turns the spotlight to our community’s youth. I Am invites children to imagine themselves in the futures they dream of—scientists, artists, leaders, caregivers, and more—and captures those visions in striking portraits.
Each portrait is a declaration of identity and aspiration—because when children see themselves reflected in the world around them, it affirms that they belong. I Am is both a celebration of dreams and a call to action: the future of our community is already here—and it’s bold, brilliant, and full of promise.https://www.minnetrista.net/events/i-am-a-vision-of-our-future

Come for the conversation and leave with the impact of "unjudging someone"
This FREE event offers an opportunity to learn more about diverse populations through conversations with persons who have lived experiences of stereotyping, bias, and prejudice.
At a Human Library, you borrow "A Human Book" and have a conversation about their story. You will have the opportunity to "unjudge someone," ask questions, possibly learn something new, and likely talk to someone you normally would not have the opportunity to meet otherwise. In this safe place, you have a chance to examine and explore your own perceptions.
This is an impactful opportunity to learn, explore, and embrace others in our community and daily lives. Difficult questions are expected, appreciated, and answered.

Featured Kirkham Lecture
“The Kilgore Pact Legend and the 1818 St. Marys Treaties”
In seeking to confirm a family legend involving prominent Delaware County resident David Kilgore (1804–1879), Andy Olson uncovered a surprising historical detail connected to the 1818 treaties signed at St. Marys, Ohio. Olson discovered that none of the individuals receiving land grants in one of the treaties were Delawares—raising questions about why and how that came to be. His presentation explores what he found and what it may reveal about the period.
About the speaker
Andy Olson is an amateur historian and award-winning writer whose work has appeared in Connections, Traces, and other publications. He is the author of Forging the Bee Line Railroad, 1848–1889: The Rise and Fall of the Hoosier Partisans and Cleveland Clique (Kent State University Press, 2017). In 2024, he received the Indiana Historical Society’s Willard C. Heiss Family History and Genealogy Award.
