Indiana Landmarks Black Heritage Preservation Program partners with WFYI Live to host an Indie Lens Pop-Up premiere screening of The Inquisitor, a documentary exploring the life and legacy of Barbara Jordan, groundbreaking Texas congresswoman whose sharp intellect and moral clarity transformed U.S. politics. From Nixon’s impeachment to civil rights battles, her voice demanded accountability, while she privately faced struggles few ever knew of.

Indie Lens Pop-Up, an award-winning community series inspired by the PBS program Independent Lens, brings people together for film screenings and community-driven conversations at partner events across the country. The event will include community resources and an optional reflective activity after the film.

The screening is free and open to the public with advance registration encouraged.
