Evansville Museum’s 2025 Historian in Residence to Present Public Talk
Thursday, March 20, 6 pm
In his talk Antilynching Art and Community Remembrance in Indiana, Dr. Alex Lichtenstein will discuss the compelling history of the use of art and photography to protest against racial violence. His lecture will connect the history of antilynching campaigns to current efforts around the state to commemorate Indiana’s lynch victims.
Alex Lichtenstein is a professor of history at Indiana University, Bloomington, where he chairs the Department of American Studies. His work centers on the intersection of labor history and the struggle for racial justice in societies shaped by white supremacy, particularly the U.S. South (1865-1954) and 20th-century South Africa.
