Nearly a year and a half after his sudden death from a heart attack, a downtown Indianapolis Street has been named for broadcaster and tireless truth and justice advocate Amos Brown.

Amos Brown was remembered Saturday as “the conscience of a community” during a funeral service that included many of the political figures he held to account during his 40-year career as a broadcaster, journalist and activist in Indianapolis.

The public viewing is Friday from noon to 6 p.m. at World Christian Church. Services will be held on Saturday morning.

A legend of radio in Indianapolis, Amos Brown, passed away suddenly while visiting family in Chicago.
