Started in June 2020, Levingston's business, Through2Eyes, takes curious Hoosiers on walking tours through different neighborhoods in the city.
Monday's tour was along Indiana Avenue coinciding with celebrations and events marking Juneteenth."If we learn about our city, we can make better decisions that impact the people who live here and the people who come here in the future," Levingston said.
"Where these Black neighborhoods, these schools, churches were, in the process of our city growing and improving and progressing, we lost a lot of the Black neighborhoods," Levingston said. “I’m important for us to hone in on that history, but bring it closer to home," Tierra Bush, president of the Exchange at the Indianapolis Urban League, said. She took part in and helped organize the tour. Bush says increased awareness about Juneteenth allows for more conversations about the history of Indiana Avenue.
Along the tour, Levingston pointed out areas where buildings used to exist and highlighted the history of buildings like the Madame CJ Walker Legacy Center. Despite this tour being focused on Black History in Indianapolis, Levingston reiterates learning about all history is important for everyone.
