Today on Community Connection, we're diving into a fascinating conversation about politics, history, and the arts. Join us as we explore the intersection of these topics with a special guest, Congressman Andre' Carson, and a spotlight on the Indianapolis Black Documentary Film Festival.

In this episode, we're discussing the importance of representation and access to resources, particularly in the context of the upcoming job and resource fair hosted by Congressman Carson. We're also talking about the significance of preserving history and legacy through storytelling, as exemplified by the documentary film "The Color of Medicine: The Story of Homer G. Phillips Hospital." This powerful film tells the story of the first hospital in the United States to train African American physicians and the impact it had on the community.

Phillips Hospital. Her film is a testament to the importance of preserving our history and the impact it has on our lives.
