Reactivate the Indianapolis Commission on African American Males (ICAAM)

Reactivate the Indianapolis Commission on African American Males (ICAAM)

The Issue

Aspiration: We want to decrease interpersonal violence within black families and neighborhoods, reduce and then eliminate black male homicides and improve police community relations. We further want to eliminate incidents of excessive use of force and profiling of minorities by police.


The city does not presently have an Indianapolis Commission for African American Males connected to Indiana Commission on the Social Status of Black Males.

The following cities in Indiana have a commission on African American Males:

Bloomington, Evansville, Fort Wayne, Gary, Jeffersonville, and Michigan City.

Notably missing is Indianapolis who has more African Americans than all of those cities combined.
