African American Landmark Tour

See local African American history by visiting some of the sites where that history was made—from schools to churches to neighborhoods and sites of political and social gathering. Developed by the Indiana University South Bend Civil Rights Heritage Center, this self-guided tour honors some of the many incredible people, places, and stories told throughout our past. 

For large groups that can provide transportation, guided tours from CRHC staff may be possible. Contact crhc@iusb.edu to start that conversation.
