The Afternoons with Amos PODCAST For Wednesday, August 19, 2016. City-County Council President Maggie Lewis may hold things down when she’s presiding over a raucous Council meeting, but she found it’s nothing like sitting in “the big chair” filling in on Afternoons with Amos. But during her fill-in while Amos had the day off, Council President Lewis dealt with a wide range of issues, topics and guests. (Interview Starts At 0:00:39 Mark On PODCAST Media Player). President Lewis began with an event she had the privilege of introducing the previous weekend. A new exhibit at the Indianapolis Marion County Library titled Women of a New Tribe is an exhibit of 75 portraits of African-American women, including eleven from Indianapolis. Two of those women, legendary attorney Fay Williams and Faye Hampton were joined by Cordia Watkins of the Library’s African-American History Committee.
