The Dignity Project: Vivian Bridgwaters

Vivian Bridgwaters attended IU in the 1970s, but moved to other states for the majority of her professional life due to a lack of opportunities for Black Bloomington residents. Many of her family members, including her aunt, Frances Marshall Eagleson, the first Black female graduate of IU, were also unable to find jobs in town that met their qualifications. This podcast is part of the IDS story “Indignity in death: Unmarked graves in Bloomington indicate long history of racism.”
