One of the obstacles to building a real people’s movement in Indianapolis is the absence of a collective historical memory. Often, when struggles surge new groups are formed and new leaders are established only to go inactive or grow disillusioned when the struggles die down. This is true throughout the United States.
To begin overcome this obstacle, ANSWER Indiana and the broader Indianapolis Liberation Center have created a living archive of important documents, analyses, reports, and more on the history of Palestine, the long struggle to create a pro-Palestine movement in the U.S., and on the last few years of pro-Palestine activity in the U.S. Although the Center was founded in 2021, ANSWER Indiana and other member-organizations date back years before and, some, decades before. It is crucial that every new wave of organizing build on the previous wave, which can only happen through collective memory.
