The Blue Print Project

The Blueprint Project is a collection of stories inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.’s “What is Your Life Blueprint?” The speech was given to high school students in 1967. In it, he highlights the importance of having a blueprint that asserts and celebrates one’s dignity and worth, one’s “somebody-ness.” He encourages people to maximize their potential -- to strive to be the best of what they are -- by working hard, by having self love, by fighting for justice. There are 8 stories. Each story captures different experiences. Below are descriptions of each of the characters.

Tungus

In 1948, two Korean soldiers from a Chinese People’s Liberation Army division flee Changchun during the Kuomintang–Communist civil war. Some 150,000 civilians died in this little-known siege, mostly by starvation due to the military blockade. The Jeju uprising of 1948 gradually seeps into the soldiers’ time and space. Notable for its extreme violence and casualties but long suppressed in official histories, it was a harbinger of the Korean War. Meanwhile, a famished scholar in Changchun returns in his mind to the May Fourth Movement of 1919.

Rasheeda's Freedom Day

Rasheeda's Freedom Day is a new short film from Harrison Center and Dija Henry of The Blue House that tells the true story of longtime Indianapolis resident and Greatriarch (a member of a community who has helped write the story of the neighborhood) Ms. JoAnna LeNoir. She has spent her life learning that her story is worth sharing and now she's sharing it with you. In 1962, Ms. JoAnna found the courage to take herself, her mother Rasheeda, and her siblings out of an abusive family situation to find freedom and community in the Indianapolis neighborhood Martindale-Brightwood. Every year since then, they have invited their family, friends, and neighbors on Columbia Street to celebrate "Rasheeda's Freedom Day" on the anniversary of their escape. As the film shows, a healthy community gives us the courage to share our stories with our neighbors so we can be known and loved.
