We apologize for the inconvenience\, but we hope that you will be able to join us virtually for these important conversations. \nGenerations of scholars have argued that America will never be whole until reparations are provided for the moral debt created by slavery\, Jim Crow laws\, and the vestiges of the caste system it created. The international cry for justice after the murder of Mr. George Floyd and the stark racial disparities lead bare by the pandemic have renewed the sense of urgency around reparations and truth and reconciliation commissions. \nThe Center for the Study of Black Life and Law at Mitchell Hamline School of Law\, the Minnesota Humanities Center and the Minnesota Justice and Equity Partnership invite you to join us for a day filled with song\, poetry\, and conversation about how we move toward justice with: \n\nInternational renowned scholars and lawyers involved in securing reparations and creating Truth and Reconciliation commissions outside of the United States\,\nCommunity advocates pursuing reparations and the creation of Truth and Reconciliation commissions in Minnesota\, and\n\nScholars and lawyers sharing insights concerning federal legislation involving reparations and the formation of truth and reconciliation commissions.\n\nInvited guests include Virginie Ladisch\, Senior Expert\, Programs\, at the International Center for Transitional Justice\, Marcella Naidoo\, former Regional Director of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of South Africa and Executive Director of the Black Sash\, and Minnesota’s Attorney General Keith Ellison. This is a beginning\, not an end. The event partners are planning a series of events in 2023 to continue this focus and work to transform our collective future. \nRegistration\nThis event is free but registration is required. This event will be available to rewatch until October 30\, 2022. Continuing Legal Education credits will be applied for post-conference for lawyers seeking such credits. \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED URL:https://www.mnhum.org/event/truth-equity-justice/ LOCATION:MN\, United States CATEGORIES:Civic Renewal,Free,Online,Online,Professional Development,Public Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.mnhum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/event_truth_equity_justice.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Casey DeMarais":MAILTO:casey@mnhum.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20221008T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20221008T160000 DTSTAMP:20260421T115354 CREATED:20220915T130806Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230606T172137Z UID:10000321-1665234000-1665244800@www.mnhum.org SUMMARY:Minneapolis - Learning in Community: LGBTQ+ History in Downtown Minneapolis DESCRIPTION:Photos courtesy of the Jean Nickolaus Tretter Collection in GLBT Studies and Hennepin County Library \nMinneapolis-Saint Paul is far from being flyover country; our metro area has some of the richest and deepest LGBTQ+ history in all of North America.

Learn about how down-and-out drifters in the notorious Gateway District helped shape a Twin Cities gay identity\, how lesbians threw parties in deserted industrial warehouses\, how gay and lesbian political power was built in response to police raids\, and how one of the first Pride festivals grew from a ragtag group marching up Nicollet Mall. \nWe hope you’ll come along! \nThis event is a collaboration with Telling Queer History. \nRegistration\nSpace is limited to 40 participants. \nK-12 educators will receive 3 clock hours. \nThis experience involves approximately 2.5 miles of walking and standing\, starting and ending at Minneapolis Community and Technical College.

Snelling was home to a little-known Military Intelligence Service Language School (MISLS). Thousands of Nisei men and women (second generation Japanese Americans) were trained as linguists and translators and played a crucial role in helping the U.S. to end the war. They served in the U.S. military despite the fact that tens of thousands of Americans of Japanese descent were being imprisoned in concentration camps for the supposed security risk they posed to the country. \nTheir story is shared in the 2021 TPT documentary\, Armed With Language. Join producer Katie O’Rourke as she engages the film’s writer David Mura\, and Karen Tanaka Lucas who is featured in the film\, in a reflective conversation\, a year on from its debut. Along with viewing some of the film footage\, Katie\, David and Karen will explore why this history has remained so hidden from public knowledge\, their personal stories and connections with MISLS\, and the complicated histories that intertwine at the site of Historic Ft. Snelling. The conversation will end with a Q&A session with audience members. \nHosted by Historic Ft. Snelling\, in partnership with the Minnesota Historical Society\, TPT Twin Cities\, and the Twin Cities Chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL). This is a free event. \nRegistration\nDoors of the Plank Museum and Visitors Center at Historic Fort Snelling will open at 5:15 p.m.; the event will begin at 6:00 p.m.in the Event Space on the second floor; audience members are invited to bring their curiosity and questions to share with the speakers. \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED URL:https://www.mnhum.org/event/st-paul-armed-with-language/ LOCATION:Plank Museum and Visitors Center at Historic Fort Snelling\, 200 Tower Avenue\, St. Paul\, MN\, 55111\, United States CATEGORIES:Civic Renewal,Free,Many Fronts,Public Programs,Veterans ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.mnhum.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/event_armed_language.png ORGANIZER;CN="Colin Nelson-Dusek":MAILTO:colin@mnhum.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20221029T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20221029T160000 DTSTAMP:20260421T115354 CREATED:20220713T143303Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221003T132048Z UID:10000310-1667037600-1667059200@www.mnhum.org SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Worthington - Poetry in the Parks DESCRIPTION:Poetry in the Parks has been postponed.
