The Indiana Humanities Council began a recent board retreat in Columbus, Indiana with a civic reflection discussion. Trustees and staff reflected together on the words and actions of Clementine Miller Tangeman and J. Irwin Miller, a brother and sister who grew up in Columbus and became civic leaders locally, nationally, and globally. Two readings, a portrait of Tangeman and a 1996 speech by Miller, served as springboards for the council's exploration of how the humanities can foster needed civic leadership and civil dialogue in our own time. The session was co-facilitated by Elizabeth Lynn and board member Perry Hines, who participated in a Project on Civic Reflection facilitation training for the Indiana council the previous week.
