Janet Cheatham Bell, an Indiana University alumna and author, will discuss her book The Time and Place That Gave Me Life in which she writes about coming of age in a northern city that felt very much like the Deep South of the era. Race is a significant presence in this candid and evocative memoir as Bell explains how race and racism impacted and helped shape her life in mid twentieth century Indianapolis. Her struggle with racism is interwoven with local history and forthright discussions of her education, her marriage, and conflicts with her parents.
