    In this Black History Month episode of The Freedom Forum, Angela B. Freeman talks with Kristian Little Stricklen, president and CEO of the Madam Walker Legacy Center, about Indiana Black history and the story behind one of Indianapolis’ most iconic landmarks on Indiana Avenue. Stricklen shares her Indianapolis roots, her HBCU experience at Jackson State University, and how a path from radio into public relations shaped her career across nonprofits, corporate communications and Indianapolis Public Schools. She explains how those roles prepared her to lead the Walker through major moments, including renewed community engagement, headline performances, expanded programming and long-term sustainability efforts. The conversation also traces the life of Sarah Breedlove, known as Madam C.J. Walker, from her early years to building a national business and philanthropic legacy, and why the Walker building was designed as a hub for entertainment, Black enterprise and community life. Stricklen closes with ways the community can support the center through time, talent and treasure as the Walker approaches its centennial.
