While events of the 1920s are of interest ... to someone ... let's concentrate on the issue at hand.

It is the city of Indianapolis that is the subject of this article - not the state, and not people who lived 100 years ago. If I am not mistaken, the current and living previous mayors of that city are opposed to the RFRA.

Try this: Google news for Indianapolis mayor

There, we find Fallout from RFRA very concerning to Indianapolis mayors.

We, the five living mayors of Indianapolis, are distressed and very concerned by the fallout from the enactment of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

....

We call upon the state legislature to amend this bill, well-intentioned by its sponsors but damaging to the city and state in its unintended consequences, and clarify that the existing laws and wishes of our community will be fulfilled.
