>> WELCOME TO THE "WEEKLY
SPECIAL."
I'M ERICA SAGON.
EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK IN THE
COMMUNITY YOU ARE BOUND TO FIND
LASTING IMPRINTS OF THE HOOSIERS
THAT CAME BEFORE YOU.
THEIR ACTIONS RESONATE THROUGH
MUSIC, ARCHITECTURE, EVEN
SPORTS.
NEARLY A CENTURY AGO BASEBALL
WAS AMERICA'S MOST POPULAR
PASTIME AND IN THE SPORT THERE
WAS A FELLOW HOOSIER WHO NOT
ONLY BLAZED NEW TRAILS FOR
AFRICAN AMERICANS BUT ALSO
ELECTRIFIED CROWDS WITH HIS
AMAZING PLAY.
[
♪♪ TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME ♪♪
>> WHEN YOU LOOK AT CHARLESTON
YOU SEE THAT HE WAS THE GREATEST
OF THE NEGRO LEAGUE PLAYERS.
THERE ARE SOME PLAYERS WHO ARE
KNOWN FOR BEING GREAT AT ONE
THING BUT CHARLESTON WAS GREAT
TO EVERYTHING.
>> FROM AN EARLY AGE, OSCAR
CHARLESTON SOUGHT ADVENTURE.
BORN IN 1896, HE LIED ABOUT HIS
AGE WHEN HE WAS 15 AND
VOLUNTEERED TO FIGHT WITH THE
U.S. MILITARY IN THE PHILIPPINES
WHERE HE FIRST PLAYED ORGANIZED
BASEBALL WITH HIS MILITARY UNIT.
HE RETURNED TO INDIANAPOLIS
THREE YEARS LATER AND JOINED THE
INDIANAPOLIS ABCs, AN ALL
BLACK TOURING SCHOOL SPONSORED
BY THE AMERICAN BREWING COMPANY.
>> THE INDIANAPOLIS ABCs WERE
THE CITY'S FIRST FULLY
PROFESSIONAL BLACK BASEBALL
CLUB.
IN 1914, THE ABCs HIRED A
MANAGER WHO TAKE THE TEAM TO A
NEW LEVEL AND THAT NEW MANAGER
WAS C.I. HAYWORTH.
♪♪♪♪
>> THE SON OF A METHODIST
MINISTER, TAYLOR WAS A STRICT
DISCIPLINARIAN WHO DEMANDED
GREAT RESPECT FROM CHARLESTON
AND THE REST OF HIS TEAMMATES.
>> IT WASN'T A TEAM OF ROUGH AND
TUMBLE BALL PLAYERS.
C.I. TAYLOR HIMSELF WAS COLLEGE
EDUCATED, HAD DONE A STINT WITH
THE 10th CAVALRY AND WAS
REGIMENTED AND DID NOT ALLOW HIS
PLAYERS TO DRINK, SMOKE, CUSS,
GAMBLE, MISTREAT WOMEN.
THEY WERE PROPER GENTLEMEN AND
WERE EXPECTED TO BEHAVE.
>> THEY CALLED HIM THE HOOSIER
COMET.
CHARLESTON WAS A SUPERSTAR AMONG
THE TEAM OF MANY STARS.
WITHIN TWO SEASONS HE LED THE
TEAM IN BATTING, PITCHING,
FIELDING AND BASE STEALING.
ON THE FIELD HE RARELY
STRUGGLED.
BUT OFF THE FIELD THE TEAM OFTEN
FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO TRAVEL
THROUGH MANY AREAS OF THE U.S.
WHERE JIM CROAT TO DO SO
PREVENTED AFRICAN AMERICANS FROM
EATING IN LOCAL RESTAURANTS OR
STAYING IN LOCAL HOTELS.
>> YOU MIGHT FIND PEOPLE WILLING
TO TAKE IN THE PLAYERS OR MORE
OFTEN THAN NOT THEY WOULD BE
BARN STORMING AND THEY WOULD
SLEEP IN THE CAR AND CATCH NAPS
OR SLEEP ON THE TRAIN.
OR SACK OUT IN THE DUGOUT FOR A
COUPLE HOURS BEFORE THEY TOOK
THE FIELD.
♪♪♪♪
>> BY 1920, THROUGH TAYLOR'S
LEADERSHIP AND OSCAR
CHARLESTON'S ABILITY TO DRAW
LARGE CROWDS, THE ABCs WORKED
WITH OTHER BLACK BARN STORMING
TEAMS TO ORGANIZE A NEW
PROFESSIONAL CIRCUIT, THE NEGRO
NATIONAL LEAGUE.
SEPARATE BUT ATHLETICALLY EQUAL
TO THE ALL-WHITE MAJOR LEAGUE.
>> IN 1921 HE WAS THE HIGHEST
PAID PLAYER IN BLACK BASEBALL.
HE WAS HITTING THE MOST HOME
RUNS.
HE WAS HITTING AS MANY HOME RUNS
AS BABE RUTH WAS DOING IN MAJOR
LEAGUE BASEBALL.
HE WAS CHALKING UP STATS THAT
WERE PHENOM PHENOMENAL.
WOMEN WOULD ACTUALLY BRING PIES
TO HIM.
>> INSPIRED BY HIS OLD COACH,
OSCAR CHARLESTON BECAME A
MANAGER IN THE NEGRO LEAGUE FOR
MORE THAN THREE DECADES COACHING
AND PLAYING WITH OTHER STARS
LIKE SATCHEL PAGE AND JOSH
GIBSON.
IN THE 1940s, CHARLESTON
WORKED ALONGSIDE BROOKLYN
DODGERS TEAM OWNER BRANCH RICKY
TO CREATE AN ALL BLACK LEAGUE
THAT WOULD SERVE TO FUNNEL
PLAYERS INTO MAJOR LEAGUE
BASEBALL AND HELP TO INTEGRATE
THE NATION'S PASTIME.
IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS, RICKY
WOULD SIGNED JACKIE ROBINSON TO
PLAY FOR THE DODGERS, CHANGING
BASEBALL AND SPORTS FOREVER.
TODAY BASEBALL STATISTICIANS
RANK CHARLESTON AS THE FOURTH
GREATEST PLAYER IN BASEBALL
HISTORY BEHIND ONLY BABE RUTH,
HONUS WAGNER AND WILLIE MAYES.
>> MANAGERS WHO KNEW CHARLESTON,
HAD SEEN HIM PLAY, RECOGNIZED
CHARLESTON AS A TALENT WHO IF
SOMEBODY COULD CROSS THE LINE,
CHARLESTON CERTAINLY WOULD BE
IT.
SO THERE'S THAT KIND OF RESPECT
HE HAD AND THAT PERCEPTION.
>> THE INDIANA HISTORICAL
SOCIETY HAS PUBLISHED AND ACIAL
ON OSCAR CHARLESTON AND
INDIANAPOLIS ABCs.
YOU CAN READ MORE AT
INDIANAHISTORY.ORG.
>>> AS OSCAR CHARLESTON LIT UP
THE BASEBALL DIAMOND, AFRICAN
AMERICAN ARTISTS WERE LIGHTING
UP THE STAGE ALONG THE HISTORIC
INDIANA AVENUE, A JAZZ HAVEN
THAT IMPACTED THE SCENE FAR
BEYOND INDIANAPOLIS.
BUT EVEN AS THE CIVIL RIGHTS
MOVEMENT GAINED MOMENTUM,
INDIANA AVENUE FACED INCREASING
CHALLENGES.
♪♪♪♪
♪♪♪♪
>> ON SEFNTth, 1959, WEST
MONTGOMERY SHOWED UP AT THE
MISSILE ROOM, AN AFTER HOURS
CLUB IN INDIANAPOLIS FOR A LIGHT
NIGHT SET.
SITTING IN THE AUDIENCE WAS
ATTARLY, A RENOWNED SAXOPHONIST.
IN TOWN WAS THE ALL-STAR JAZZ
TOUR THAT PERFORMED EARLIER NET
EVENING.
AS MONTGOMERY'S MUSIC COOKED AND
GROOVED, ATTARLY CLOSED HIS
EYES, BROKE INTO A HUGE SMILE
AND GAVE A THUMBS UP.
HE LEFT, CALLED HIS RECORD
COMPANY AND SOON AFTERWARDS
MONTGOMERY WAS EN ROUTE TO
NEW YORK MAKING THE FIRST OF A
DOZEN LPS FOR THE RIVERSIDE
LABEL.
MONTGOMERY WAS FOLLOWING IN THE
FOOTSTEPS OF J.J. JOHNSON,
FREDDIE HUBBARD, SLIDE HAMPTON,
WHO ALL LEFT THEIR INDIANAPOLIS
HOMETOWN TO ACHIEVE FAME AROUND
THE WORLD.
BY MAINTAINING HIS RESIDENCE AND
FAMILY IN INDIANAPOLIS,
MONTGOMERY KEPT ONE FOOT BACK IN
INDIANA BUT BY THE 1960s, HE
WAS NO LONGER A STEADY PRESENCE
ON THE INDIANA CLUB SCENE.
HIS DECREASED VISIBILITY WAS ONE
OF MANY SIGNS INDIANA AVENUE WAS
ENTERING AN ERA OF SLOW AND
PAINFUL EROSION.
INDIANA AVENUE HAD OVER 300
BUSINESSES IN THE 1930s, A
BLACK COMMUNITY BOULEVARD LINED
WITH PUBS, RESTAURANTS AND MUSIC
VENUES.
THE FACTORS THAT SEALED THE FATE
WAS THREE FOLD, DECLINE OF
ECONOMIC ACTIVITY OF ALL SITES,
HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION AND URBAN
RENEWAL AND DESEGREGATION.
GAMBLING AND ILLEGAL LIQUOR
FRONTS WERE THE FIRST MAJOR
DOMINOES TO FALL HINDERED BY NEW
RESTRICTIONS AND SELECTIVE
POLICING THAT HAD BEEN A
CHALLENGE.
THE BLACK MIDDLE CLASS ALSO
BEGAN TO SEEK OUT OTHER VENUES
AS MUSICAL AND ENTERTAINMENT
TASTES CHANGED OR LIKE MANY
OTHER AMERICANS, MORE OFTEN, TO
WATCH TELEVISION.
INCREASING CRIME DETERRED MANY
AVENUE GOERS AS WELL.
THE PLACES GROUPS GATHERED FOR
DECADES DWINDLED.
JAZZ GAVE WAY TO ROCK AND SOUL
IN POPULARITY.
THOUGH THE AVENUE HIGHLIGHTED
SOME PERFORMERS, BOTH LOCAL AND
OUT OF TOWN, INCLUDING A YOUNG
JIMI HENDRIX, IT NO LONGER
FUNCTIONED AS THE MAIN STEM OF
CULTURAL ACTIVITY IN
INDIANAPOLIS' BLACK COMMUNITY.
THE EXPANSION OF THE HIGHWAY
SYSTEM THAT RINGED
INDIANAPOLIS -- THE HIGHWAY 65
AND 70 EASED COMMUTER'S TRAVEL
THROUGH AND AROUND THE CITY.
THE EXPANSION CREATED
CATASTROPHIC PROBLEMS FOR THE
GREATER INDIANA AVENUE AREA AS
CHURCHES THAT ANCHORED THE
COMMUNITY TO THE AVENUE WERE
RELOCATED AND ENTIRE
NEIGHBORHOODS WERE REPLACED TO
MAKE ROOM FOR THE INTERSTATE.
ALONG WITH CONSTRUCTION CAME
URBAN RENEWAL AND DESEGREGATION.
PREVIOUSLY AFRICAN AMERICANS
HADN'T BEEN ABLE TO SIT IN WHITE
RESTAURANTS, PATRONIZE THE
RIVERSIDE AMUSEMENT PARK OR
FREQUENT DOWNTOWN DEPARTMENT
STORES.
AS LEGAL SEGREGATION BEGAN TO
EASE IN THE 1950s AND '60s,
THEY STARTED TO SPEND THEIR
DOLLARS IN THE WIDER ECONOMIC
SPHERE.
THE GARDENS HOUSING DEVELOPMENT,
AN EARLY CROWN JEWEL OF FEDERAL
HOUSING PROJECTS, AND ONCE A
BASTION FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS
LOOKING FOR A BETTER RESIDENTIAL
QUALITY OF LIFE WAS EVENTUALLY
CLOSED AND MANY BUILDINGS
LEVELED IN THE 1980s.
♪♪♪♪
TODAY THE ONLY STRUCTURES OF
INDIANA AVENUE'S GOLDEN AGE THAT
STILL STAND ARE THE MADAM WALKER
THEATER AND 8 OF THE ORIGINAL 24
UNITS.
THE AVENUE HAD BEEN CREATED BY
FREED SLAVES AS A HOME FOR THE
EMERGING AFRICAN AMERICAN
CULTURE OF THE 20th CENTURY.
MUSIC RIPPLED THROUGH THE
STREETS, HERITAGE HAD FORMED IN
THE BUILDINGS AND VENUES THAT
LINED THE BLACK BOULEVARD.
A LANDMARK HOUSING PROJECT HAD
GIVEN RESIDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY
FOR A SAFER AND BETTER LIFE.
FROM THE BAND ROOM TO THE
STANDING ROOM CROWDS OF THE
MADAM WALKER THEATER, JAZZ HAD
BEEN THE LIFEBLOOD OF A SMALL
COMMUNITY AND THE AVENUE THAT
HELPED FOSTER ITS BIRTH.
WEST MONTGOMERY, THE INK SPOTS,
LEROY CAR AND THE HAMPTON
FAMILY, FREDDIE HUBBARD, J.J.
JOHNSON AND OTHERS HAD MADE
LOCATIONS SUCH AS THE COTTON
CLUB AND SUNSET TERRACE,
GEORGE'S AND THE MISSILE ROOM
ARTISTIC LANDMARKS THAT EXIST
NOW ONLY IN THE HISTORICAL
RECORD AND A FEW REMAINING
MEMORIES.
FOR HALF A CENTURY INDIANA
AVENUE HAD PROVIDE ADD THRIVING
POINT OF CONVERGENCE FOR CULTURE
AND COMMERCE, ENTERTAINMENT AND
ART AND LIFE AND LOVE.
MUSIC FUELED THE SCENE, BUT THE
PEOPLE WERE THE AVENUE, THE YOU
ONES THAT ABSORBED THE SOUNDS
ADD ENCOURAGED THE -- THE STREET
BURNED BRIGHT WITH THE FIRE OF
JAZZ AS IT ETCHED ITS PLACE IN
THE LEGACY OF AMERICA.
>> TO LEARN MORE ABOUT JAZZ'S IN
INCREDIBLE HISTORY IN INDIANA,
GO TO THE WFIU NIGHT LIGHTS
PROGRAM PAGE.
>>> INDIANA TRAIL BLAZERED
IMPACT ON THE STATE'S CULTURAL
HERITAGE IS CLEAR, FROM MUSIC TO
SPORTS, BUT THEY'VE ALSO
IMPACTED OUR NATURAL HISS
HISTORY AND ONE SUCH HOOSIER
RECOGNIZED THE NEED TO PRESERVE
THAT HISTORY FAR BEFORE
CONSERVATION BECAME PART OF OUR
ENVIRONMENTAL NARRATIVE.
>> TURKEY RUN IS A VERY UNIQUE
STATE PARK IN NORTHERN INDIANA.
THESE COOL SHADY GLENS, OL'
GROWTH TREES, EASTERN HEMLOCK
TREES OVERLOOKING BEAUTIFUL
CREEKS AND VALLEYS AND IT LOOKS
THIS WAY BECAUSE OF SOMETHING
THAT HAPPENED A MERE 12,000
YEARS AGO.
THAT WAS THE END OF THE TIME OF
THE LAST GLACIER IN THIS PART OF
THE STATE.
AND WHEN THAT GLAISH GLACIER MELTED,
THAT STUFF RECORD OUT OF THE
GLACIER AND TORRENTS RAN THROUGH
THE CRACKS AND CREVICES AND
CARVED OUT THE FAMILIAR TRAIL
SYSTEM WE KNOW TODAY.
A MAN NAMED SALMON SALMON CAME BACK IN
1821 CAME THROUGH AS A SCOUT FOR
WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON TRYING TO
FIND SAFE PASSAGE FOR THE
TROOPS.
WHEN HE RESIGNED HIS COMMISSION
FROM THE ARMY HE WAS PAID WITH A
LAND GRANT, AS MANY OFFICERS
WERE IN THOSE DAYS, AND IN 1823
CAME HERE AND BOUGHT THE FIRST
288 ACRES OF WHAT LATER BECAME
TURKEY RUN STATE PARK.
WE'RE VERY LUCKY BECAUSE THIS
MAN WAS REALLY AN EARLY
CONSERVATIONIST.
IT'S BECAUSE OF HIM THAT WE
STILL HAVE OLD GROWTH TREES AND
IT'S BECAUSE OF HIM THIS IS A
PARK.
WHEN HE DIED, THE TIMBER BUYERS
OF ARIZONA WERE COMING IN FORCE.
THEY WANTED TO BUY TURKEY RUN
AND CUT DOWN ALL THE TREES.
A COMMITTEE HEADED BY RICHARD
LIEBER, A COMMISSION ACTUALLY,
WAS LOOKING INTO ESTABLISHING A
SYSTEM OF STATE PARTS IN
INDIANA.
RICHARD LIEBER CAME HERE TO SEE
TURKEY RUN AND FELL IN LOVE WITH
THE PLACE, HAD TO HAVE IT.
SO HE INITIATED A CAMPAIGN TO
RAISE THE FUNDS TO GET THE
PEOPLE THE PEOPLE OF INDIANA
EXCITED ABOUT SAVING TURKEY RUN.
THESE STATE PARKS WERE
ESTABLISHED NOT JUST TO CONSERVE
LAND BUT TO PROVIDE A PLACE FOR
PEOPLE TO COME TO GET AWAY FROM
ALL THE STRUGGLES AND STRESSES
IN THEIR LIVES AND TO JUST SOAK
UP NATURE, RELAX, AND PULL SOME
PEACE INTO THEMSELVES.
WE HAVE A LOT OF SPECIAL EVENTS
COMING UP AT TURKEY RUN.
THE FIRST WEEKEND IN MAY IS OUR
WELCOME BACK WEEKEND ON ALL OF
OUR STATE PROPERTIES.
YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN HIKES AND
WORKSHOPS AND ALL KINDS OF MAKE
AND TAKE ACTIVITIES TO KIND OF
GET YOU BACK OUT INTO NATURE AND
READY FOR THE SUMMER.
AND SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYONE
WHO CAN TO COME OUT AND VISIT AN
INDIANA STATE PARK THIS YEAR.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE TURKEY
RUN.
THEY ARE ALL SPECIAL IN THEIR
OWN UNIQUE WAYS, AND IT IS A
RENEWAL PLACE, SOMEPLACE THAT
YOU CAN COME AND FEEL BETTER.

>>> FOR YEARS OUR NEXT MUSICAL
GUESTS HAVE BUILT THEIR
FRIENDSHIPS INTO A SUCCESSFUL
BAND, MELDING '80S AND '90s
ROCK WITH MODERN POP.
MEET "THERE ARE GHOSTS."
♪♪♪♪
>> THERE ARE GHOSTS FORMED IN
TWO PHASES.
SO FIRST IT WAS ANDREW AND MIKE
PLAYING WITH TONY, GUITAR
PLAYER, ALSO MY HUSBAND.
AND I WASN'T PART OF IT IN THE
BEGINNING AND NEITHER WAS JOHN,
OUR OTHER GUITAR PLAYER.
AND SO I KEPT HEARING THE SONGS
AND I WAS SINGING ALL THE SONGS
AND I STARTED TO REALLY LIKE A
LOT OF THE MUSIC THAT THEY WERE
DOING, AND THEN I JUST ONE DAY
WAS LIKE, SO, CAN I JOIN THE
BAND AND BE THE SINGER?
WHEN IT ALL CAME TOGETHER, IT
JUST CLICKED.
OUR GOALS WERE TOTALLY ALIGNED
IN THAT WE WENT TO JUST MAKE
GREAT MUSIC, FUN MUSIC, WHATEVER
WE WANT, SPEND TIME TOGETHER,
PLAY SHOWS, AND JUST HAVE IT BE
SOMETHING THAT FEEDS US
CREATIVELY AND THE FACT THAT
WE'VE ALL KNOWN EACH OTHER IN
SOME FORM OR ANOTHER FOR OVER 20
YEARS IS A HUGE BENEFIT.
WE'RE FIVE BEST FRIENDS WHO
HAPPEN TO PLAY IN A BAND
TOGETHER.
SO THAT MAKES FOR A REALLY GOOD,
CREATIVE, PRODUCTIVE
ENVIRONMENT.
WE'RE SERIOUS ABOUT WHAT WE DO,
BUT WE WANT TO HAVE A LOT OF FUN
DOING IT, AND SO WE ERR ON THE
SIDE OF FUN WHEN IT COMES DOWN
TO IT.
DESCRIBING YOUR SOUND TO SOMEONE
IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT.
THE WAY THAT I WOULD DESCRIBE IT
WOULD BE ALTERNATIVE COLLEGE
ROCK MUSIC OF THE LATE '80s
INTO EARLY '90s.
WHEN I'M PERFORMING, I AM TRYING
REALLY HARD TO STAY AS PRESENT
IN THE MOMENT AS I CAN BECAUSE I
HAVE A TENDENCY TO GET SUCKED
INTO MY OWN HEAD, AND THAT'S NOT
WHERE YOU WANT TO BE, YOU KNOW,
WHEN YOU ARE PERFORMING.
THE WHOLE POINT IS TO GET IT OUT
OF HERE AND OUT THERE.
WHAT I REALLY TRY TO FOCUS ON IS
JUST CREATING THAT CONNECTION
WITH AN AUDIENCE TO REALLY HAVE
PEOPLE FEEL THE EMOTION OF A
PARTICULAR SONG OR FEEL JUST THE
ENERGY AND THE LOVE THAT WE HAVE
TOGETHER AS A BAND AND AS
FRIENDS AND BRING THEM INTO
THAT.
WHAT YOU HOPE AT THE END OF THE
DAY IS SOMEONE LIKED YOUR MUSIC,
ENJOYED COMING OUT AND SEEING
YOU PLAY, AND THAT THEY'LL WANT
TO LISTEN TO YOU AGAIN.
MY PERSONAL DEFINITION OF
SUCCESS AS A MUSICIAN IS TO KEEP
DOING IT.
IT IS A VALUABLE FORM OF
EXPRESSION.
IT IS A GREAT CREATIVE RELEASE.
IT'S A GREAT STRESS RELEASE,
JUST A PLATFORM, THE CHANCE TO
GET OUT AND DO SOMETHING
DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOUR
DAY-TO-DAY EXISTENCE IS.
IT'S A LOT MORE INTERNAL IN
TERMS OF WHAT I FIND MOTIVATES
ME EACH DAY IS BEING ABLE TO
EXPRESS MYSELF, TO WRITE ABOUT
DIFFERENT THINGS, TO SEE HOW I
CAN USE MY VOICE TO EXPRESS
DIFFERENT EMOTIONS AS WELL AS
BEING SURE THAT I'M SPENDING
TIME WITH PEOPLE THAT I REALLY
LOVE AND WE JUST GET A CHANCE TO
MAKE GREAT MUSIC AT THE SAME
TIME.
