St. Paul & Online – Headscarf Story Circle: League of Women Voters Minnesota Action Day

August 8 @ 10:00 am - 12:30 pm CDT

Hybrid Event
Free

The Minnesota Humanities Center (MHC) is excited to host a Headscarf Story Circle in partnership with the League of Women Voters Minnesota (LWVMN) to commemorate the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act.

In an effort to reach participants across the state of Minnesota, this hybrid event will convene in person at MHC and has a virtual option. Twin Cities metro area guests are encouraged to attend in person.

All in-person and online attendees are encouraged to wear a headscarf or head dress that is symbolic of anything related to a fashion statement, cultural identity, or one’s health, memories, and beliefs.

This event includes brunch; dietary restrictions will be noted upon registration.

In line with the League’s national focus, the event’s theme is Headscarf Story Circle: A Day of Action. Excerpts from the TPT documentary, “Hope in the Struggle” about the legendary Dr. Josie Johnson will be featured. Speakers will include League of Women Voter leaders and the day’s action will engage attendees by writing postcards with an invitation to learn about the elections from VOTE411.org.
