Attucks: The School That Opened a City

Patty sits down with Emmy award-winning documentary filmmaker Ted Green. His latest project focuses on Crispus Attucks High School.

I was researching about being in kindergarten-3 grade in Carbondale, IL

after that the school was closed over
the yrs my dad attended the same
school Southern Illinois reading about the school has a lot of history
I glad to know that, I was a part of
that history....

This is such a fascinating history. The YA book is great. Also, if you are in the Indianapolis area, there is a wonderful Indiana Ave history walk--Through2Eyes-- you can do, that will illuminate this and other amazing stories.

Hello, I'm a child of a teacher that taught at Attucks in the early naughts (00's) to the ends of the 10's. Thank you for the information. My mother is a white woman who taught me the importance of this school and how it is now. It sticks with me and the circle city will rest in my heart till the end of my days, even though I grew up in the opposite environment. So sad how Indianapolis Public Schools is now part of the political machine and how students get left behind because of the standard issues facing inner city students. Much love to my city and the children of it. God bless Indy!!!
