JAWS fellowship participants visited Indy’s Global Village Museum in July 2026 to create storytelling projects using new journalism and photography skills.
Student fellow Maxie King presented a series of photographs as her final project, “Sometimes History Doesn’t Change,” an exploration of history. See the photos below from her visit to Indy’s Global Village Museum.
In the Juneteenth exhibit, at the Global Village museum, they display one of the many objects that was used to hurt or enslave African American people such as; heavy shackles, wanted posters with money rewards, and a noose.
During the years of 1847-1848, many enslaved African Americans that have been freed made an organization to demand human and civil rights for more African Americans.
This is a display of the original version of “The Ten Little Monkeys” nursery rhyme which was called “The Ten Little Ni**ers.”
At the Global Village Museum, two Indianapolis residents donated artifacts involving the Ku Klux Klan for the Juneteenth exhibit.
