They understood the pressing need to create an avenue to display positive African-American ideas and founded the Indiana Black Expo in 1970. Now IBE is celebrating its 42nd year Anniversary. It has encouraged, uplifted and celebrated the accomplishments and achievements of African-Americans throughout Indiana.
