Art Spaces' Annual Luncheon featuring Eunice Trotter

Art Spaces invites you to join us for our annual spring luncheon. This elegant event offers opportunity to gather with friends, coworkers, and other community members in a festive spring setting. This year's speaker is the author of Black in Indiana, Eunice Brewer-Trotter.

Eunice Trotter is from a pioneer Black family with roots in Indiana dating back to the late 1790s. She attended public schools in Indianapolis and worked her way through college. She holds journalism undergraduate degrees and an MBA.

Eunice began working at The Indianapolis Recorder during her high school years, and in 1987 purchased controlling interest of that newspaper, which is one of the oldest African American newspapers in the country. She was the first African American editor at The Indianapolis Star, and held editing or reporting positions at several other newspapers, including The New York Post, Florida Today, the Palm Beach Post and the Lafayette Journal and Courier. She has won numerous reporting and writing awards and in 2017 was inducted into the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame.

Eunice is currently the director of Indiana Landmark’s Black Heritage Preservation Program. She recently published her first book, Black in Indiana, which received a first place award from the Indiana Press Women’s Club. The book also won first place in the National Federation of Press Women’s Competition.

Black in Indiana

Life for Blacks in Southern Indiana in the 1820s could be brutal, but Mary Bateman Clark’s victorious lawsuit helped advance change. Written by Mary Bateman Clark's great, great, great granddaughter, Eunice Brewer-Trotter, Black in Indiana is a must-read which looks beyond typical stories about slavery. The book includes genealogical information about numerous African American families in Knox County, Indiana before 1820.

Eunice's book, Black in Indiana, is available for purchase on Amazon. Click here to purchase your copy.
