Moment of Indiana History
A group of black students committed to achieving racial justice through nonviolent means was already in existence at Indiana University Bloomington by the spring of 1968. But the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on April 4 th in Memphis, Tennessee galvanized black activism on campus.
Bloomington, Indiana provided not only the setting for the film Breaking Away, but its subject matter as well.
