State Senator La Keisha Jackson, Lawsuit Says IPS Teacher Encouraged Abuse, Holcomb's Trips to Brazil and Mexico, Pianist Joshua Thompson's Work on Diversity in Orchestras

Indianapolis City-County Councilor La Keisha Jackson is Indiana’s newest state senator. An Indianapolis Public Schools teacher allowed and encouraged the abuse of a seven-year-old second grader with disabilities in his classroom at George Washington Carver Montessori School 87, according to a lawsuit filed against the district. Governor Eric Holcomb says his latest economic development trip underscores the importance of such trade missions. Indianapolis pianist Joshua Thompson has built a career around advocating for classical composers and musicians of African descent.
