Awkward Alliances and the Indianapolis Anti-Pornography Ordinance of 1984Fox, Jonnie Bray 05 1900 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This thesis examines the motivations behind the advocates and detractors of the Indianapolis Anti-Pornography Ordinance of 1984. It will examine how and why Indianapolis Conservatives, who opposed pornography due to its perceived moral implications, joined forces with a radical feminist to create an ordinance outlawing pornography that utilized the radical feminist argument of pornography’s potential violence. It will explain the national divide between radical and liberal feminists on the issue of pornography and how this is reflected on a local scale through the methods of Indianapolis feminists to contend with violence against women. Through interviews with those associated with the ordinance, it will broaden the understanding of the sides in the debate and how the ordinance was defeated. This thesis will also demonstrate that while the ordinance ultimately failed to be enforced after being signed into law by Mayor Hudnut, it marked a significant moment in not only Indianapolis but the Nation’s history and helped change the course of the pornography debate.

Moving on Up: The Experience of Post World War II African American of IndianapolisHuskins, Kyle 03 1900 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Housing discrimination is one of the main plights of many African Americans during their post WWII struggle from equality. It affected where African Americans could live, where they could work, where their children went to school, and it ultimately affected their means of accumulating capitol. Eventually, through legislation and the constant struggle for housing equality from local African Americans leaders and local community leaders, the discrimination marginally subsided and this allowed for African Americans to move away from the central city. This study is an examination of Indianapolis’s first African American suburbanites. This study focuses on residents from two Indianapolis suburbs that were predominantly African American and located outside of the central city. The goal of this paper is to try to understand, how these communities formed, try to understand who these African Americans were and most importantly what were their experiences as individuals with suburbanization post WWII and the effect that their suburbanization had on residential opportunities in Indianapolis.

Corner stores and bottles : African-American consumption in Indianapolis / Corner stores & bottlesRosenberg, Seth Andrew January 2008 (has links)
The majority of African Diaspora archaeology has focused on slavery and plantation contexts, particularly in the American South. Recently, some historical archaeologists have conducted research on the African American, postbellum experience in various settings and geographical locations. A few archaeologists have argued that race and racism were at the heart of American social structure in the antebellum and postbellum world alike. Expanding on current research, this paper compares the glass bottle assemblages from two sites from Indianapolis, Indiana's near-Westside to examine the ways in which race and racism impacted everyday consumption in an early to mid-twentieth century, Midwestern city. These two sites, a residence and a corner store within the same neighborhood, offer a unique archaeological opportunity to study how the relationship between race and consumption is affected by marketing and distribution. / Department of Anthropology

The relationship between crime and park site designWise, Laura January 1989 (has links)
There currently exist no usable criteria that planners and park designers can use when evaluating whether a particular parcel of land is well suited for park uses vis a vis its susceptibility to criminal activity. Previous crime/environment studies have primarily focused on residential and commercial areas. Furthermore, these studies have not given consistent results. Studies by Moran and Dolphin (1986) and Samdahl and Christensen (1985) have, however, established the importance of context when determining a particular feature's influence on criminal activity.This study examined the relationship between the design features of two Indianapolis parks and incidences of crime in an attempt to identify facilitating or. inhibiting environmental influences on crime. Documentation of the site features and any potential these two parks and the areas immediately surrounding them as a method of identifying these factors. Documentation of the respective site features revealed that the two parks were similar enough that their differences could be isolated and related to the available crime data. The results indicated that bordering streets exerted a facilitating influence on crime while the existence of bordering homes had an inhibiting effect. / Department of Landscape Architecture
