About the Indianapolis Commission on African American Males

Founded in 1992 during Mayor Stephen Goldsmith’s administration, ICAAM was one of the first commissions on African American males in Indiana. The commission reports to the Indiana Commission on the Social Status of Black Males, a statewide collection of similar commissions located around the state. The purpose of the ICAAM is to conduct a systemic study of the plight of Black males in Indianapolis/Marion County. ICAAM is a policy and research organization that seeks to achieve positive strategic outcomes for Black males and Black families, including Black women and girls.
