SUMMARY:Learning from Place: Hmong St. Paul
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an immersive journey into the heart of St. Paul’s vibrant Hmong community! St. Paul is home to the largest Hmong population in the United States\, with deep roots on the East Side. Our guide for the day is Chong Yang\, a high school educator who grew up in the neighborhood after coming to Minnesota at the age of six from a refugee camp in Thailand. Our day begins and ends at the Minnesota Humanities Center.  During a short bus tour\, Chong will share insights and stories while pointing out Hmong businesses and landmarks\, such as the Minnesota Memorial to The Special Forces in Laos\, commemorating the Hmong involvement in the Southeast Asia War. Our first destination is the Hmong Cultural Center Museum where we will hear a special presentation and have time to explore the exhibits showcasing the rich heritage\, traditions\, and contributions of the Hmong people in Minnesota. Next\, we will visit the iconic HmongTown Marketplace\, home to 125 small businesses and food vendors. We will meet the owner and learn about his incredible story\, followed by a guided tour of the bustling market. There will be time for independent shopping and lunch. \nThis is a collaboration with Hmong Cultural Center and HmongTown Marketplace. \nK-12 educators will receive 4 clock hours. \nRegistration\nSpace is limited to 45 participants.  \nPlease note: Registration cost does not include food. Participants are encouraged to support the financial recovery of small businesses by making purchases from the businesses they learn about on the tour. We recommend bringing cash\, as not all vendors accept credit cards. \nIf cost is a barrier\, please contact Jessica Rust at jessica@mnhum.org before registering. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org | MHC Cancellation Policy \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Winona - Sketches of Minnesota
DESCRIPTION:Join the Minnesota Humanities Center\, Danger Boat Productions\, and local host partners for the inaugural Sketches of Minnesota civic improv comedy tour! These free events will use laughter and comedy to celebrate Minnesota communities\, promote dialogue\, bridge divides\, and help find ways to work constructively across differences in today’s political environment. \nBeginning with a catered meal\, these gatherings will invite audience members to share what makes their town great\, what they think people get wrong about it\, what local divisions concern them\, and what future they imagine.  An improv comedy troupe will listen in on the conversations\, taking everything they heard from residents and bringing it to life on stage through entirely unscripted improv comedy theater. \nThis event is one of the first seven tour stops.  A culminating performance will take place later in 2024\, sharing stories from around the state. Visit host partner and/or venue site for details and registration specific to this event. \nThe work of the Minnesota Humanities Center is to create a stronger Minnesota by increasing our understanding of the beauty\, wisdom and stories of its people. Through partnerships\, we facilitate the spaces\, like Sketches of Minnesota\, that seek to build connections and deepen understanding of ourselves and our communities in pursuit of a more just society. \nHost Partner: Winona State University \nRegistration\nThis event is free but registration is required. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Minneapolis - Westminster Town Hall Forum: Arc Toward Justice 2024
DESCRIPTION:Wesley Lowery is the author of American Whitelash: A Changing Nation and the Cost of Progress. It tells the story of how the election of the nation’s first Black president reignited long-burning embers of white supremacy. It was a New York Times best-seller\, was named one of NPR’s books of the year\, and described as “indispensable” by Ibram X. Kendi. \nFollowing the police killing of Michael Brown\, Lowery launched Fatal Force — a real-time national database of people shot and killed by the police. That database — which remains the most reliable public data on police shootings — won the Pulitzer Prize\, the George Polk Award\, and the Peabody Award and was named one of the decade’s top 10 works of journalism. \nHe is also a Journalist-in-Residence at the CUNY Newmark Graduate School of Journalism and a contributing editor at The Marshall Project. He is the executive editor of the Investigative Reporting Workshop\, an innovative “training hospital” journalism non-profit based at American University in Washington DC that trains a rising generation of journalists by partnering them with professional newsrooms to work on projects that fill crucial gaps in media coverage. \nMore About Wesley Lowery\nLowery began his career covering politics\, but in 2014 was sent to Ferguson\, Mo.\, to cover the police killing of Michael Brown for the Washington Post. In the years that followed\, he would chronicle the early years of the Black Lives Matter movement\, writing a bestselling book and launching Fatal Force. \nIn the years that followed he led and contributed to investigative projects that examined unsolved homicides in major American cities (Pulitzer Prize finalist)\, what happens to fired police officers\, so-called repeat offender criminal defendants\, fentanyl overdoses in major cities (in 2017 and 2022)\, the failures to catch the deadliest serial killer in American history\, and what happens to people who are shot by the police and survive. He’s latest book\, American Whitelash\, published in June 2023\, chronicles the rise in white supremacist violence in the years since Barack Obama’s election. \nLowery hosted “Unfinished: Ernie’s Secret” an investigative podcast that explores the life of Ernest Withers\, a legendary civil rights photographer who was also a paid FBI informant. He also served as co-host of “More Than A Vote: Our Voices\, Our Vote.” He was an executive producer of In the Cold Dark Night\, an Emmy-nominated documentary chronicling the effort to solve the 1983 lynching of Timothy Coggins. \nWebby Award for Best News and Politics Podcast (2021)\nThe Frederick Douglass 200 (2019)\nChristopher Isherwood prize for autobiographical prose (2017)\nEbony 100 (2016)\nThe Root 100 (2015 & 2016)\nApex Society Power 30 under 30 recipient\nRARE 40 under 40 recipient\nLotos Foundation Prize in the Arts and Sciences (2017)\nWayne State University “Spirit of Diversity” Award (2015)\nEmerging Journalist of the Year\, The National Assoc of Black Journalists (2014) \nRegistration\nThis event is free and open to all. \nThere is no ticketing or registration.
