This Emmy was awarded to WFYI, and Ted Green for their documentary “Attucks: The School That Opened a City”. Built while the Ku Klux Klan ran Indiana, Crispus Attucks High School was designed to fail. Instead, for more than 40 years, the students who came of age within the brick walls of Attucks overcame a system designed to belittle them. They became surgeons and teachers, scientists and politicians, world-class musicians and athletes. And over time, these successes and the grace that accompanied them became a grassroots agent for integration, winning over the younger generation of Indy’s white population.

The Emmy is apart of The Crispus Attucks Museum. This site is one of the many Indianapolis Community and Cultural Heritage Organizations that was selected to highlight the history of Indianapolis. IUPUI University Library is collaborating with Connections XR to preserve and provide access to 3D objects using generous funding from the Indianapolis Foundation, Library Fund.

Everything was 3D scanned using a Creaform HandySCAN Black Elite. Once scanned the data was cleaned up and optimized using our proprietary in house pipeline and published on Sketchfab.
