AMERICAN DIABETES DAY Day is March 24. But in the neighborhoods where Lisa Staten works—Haughville, Millersville, Stringtown, Crown Hill, and others—diabetes risk isn’t just something the residents may hear about in passing. It is a part of their daily lives, like a grating background noise that’s there 365 days a year.
“If you got the people in these neighborhoods together in a room and asked them to raise their hands if anybody in their families had diabetes, every single hand would go up,” St...

Meet The Organizer: Willa Liburd Tavernier
WILLA LIBURD TAVERNIER admits she’s the kind of person who reorganizes other people’s cupboards. “When I was visiting a friend in Pennsylvania, she said, ‘Why are you doing this?’ and I said, ‘Why are your taco shells in two different cupboards?’” she recalls. “That’s not efficient.”
That penchant for order also informs her work as Indiana University’s Research Impact and Open Scholarship librarian. In a nutshell, she democratizes access to information. “You’d be surprised to know how much of my...

Meet The Accidental Librarian: Maurice Broaddus
MAURICE BROADDUS NEVER planned to be a librarian. “When my boys were in The Oaks Academy, I sort of shadowed them as a substitute teacher, partly as support for them but also because I knew who I was raising and that the system was not going to be ready for them,” he laughs. One day he was called to the principal’s office. “My youngest pulled some antics,” he says. “I figured I was going to be fired, but instead he says, ‘The way you work with kids can’t be taught. Can you teach for us full-time...

The Future Of Broad Ripple High School
Guests filled the hallways. In the cafeteria, alumni pored over old yearbooks or pointed out the tables where they used to eat lunch. Nearby, a man in his 50s lingered at the bathroom entrance. “I’m going to go in there and smoke one, for old time’s sake,” he said.
The balance of the crowd was black or brown—products of the school’s post-integration era. There was also a smattering of folks from the ’50s and early ’60s who might have had talk-show host David Letterman, architect Michael Graves,...
