  • The Monster Meetings at the Negro YMCA in Indianapolis
    The Monster Meetings at the Negro YMCA in Indianapolis Stanley Warren* In today’s political, social, and economic arena remembering segregation in negative terms seems both logical and natural. How- ever, the necessity of finding a way to survive within a limiting sys- tem driven by segregationist tendencies has been the base from which many great African-American traditions and organizations have begun. One such organization was a branch of the Young Men’s Christian Association. In 1900 the formation of a Young Men’s Prayer Band presaged the birth of the Negro YMCA in Indi- anapolis and led to the inception of an incredible social, civic, and educational institution. In 1905, shortly after the state YMCA officially recognized the Prayer Band, members initiated a series of public forums, head- lined for the first ten years by local religious, business, and political figures. The forums, commonly known as Monster Meetings, even- tually showcased almost every black leader in the country and pro- vided a means for bringing national issues to the Indianapolis area. Rebuffed by his superiors when he requested permission to call the forums (‘The Big Meeting”-that name, it seems, was being used by the statewide YMCA organization for its own meetings-Executive Secretary Thomas E. Taylor, playing the game of one-upsmanship, suggested “monster” as an alternative to “big.”’ In retrospect, the unusual name choice was fortuitous. Soon after the colored YMCA became a fully approved entity, the push for a new building began. Word about the creation of the new YMCA branch had spread throughout the United States.
