A Wikipedia article, completed by one of our student employees, is featured on the homepage of Wikipedia under the “Did you know …” section. Raneem Hijazi, a Library Science student, completed the article about the Senate Avenue YMCA. The YMCA was near the IUPUI campus and for many years boasted the largest African American membership of any YMCA. It also served as a meeting place for notable speakers, including Herman B. Wells, Jesse Owens, Langston Hughes, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Eleanor Roosevelt.
