902. Anyone know of Stephen's Cafe, Indianapolis, 1945-48?

Gloria

I'm looking for information about a restaurant called Stephen's Cafe. I have photos of employees posing outside on the sidewalk, you can clearly see the name on the bldg and that it was a corner bldg. The yr would likely have been abt 1945-48. My mom was a wait see there. Wondering if any family of owners or other employees are still around? This is a long shot! Thanks,

901. African American Life and History

I attended the Black Migrations program (see previous post) and had a really good time. I learned some perspectives on American history that were from a different direction. Nichelle Hayes put together a great program; Professor Conley was outstanding. As a follow up to that program, some black genealogists might be interested in the group below that is just starting up in the Indy area.

If you or some of your family attended IPS School 21 at Southeastern and English Avenues, you will be glad to know the closed school was not demolished. It was instead converted to senior apartments and now enjoys an impressive second life.
