The Polis Center worked with a diverse group of citizens to develop Urban Tapestry, a book of stories and photographs. We were interested in stories that help define the life of the city of Indianapolis, its triumphs and failures. Indianapolis is often viewed as homogenous and conservative; yet racial conflict, ethnic diversity, economic disparity, technological change, and progressive political and religious groups are an integral part of our urban landscape. We hope this collection of personal narratives reflects the soul that animates this city. As well as publishing the book, we created forums at public libraries and other gathering places, where individuals could come to hear each other’s stories. EBook $11.95
