SUMMARY:Minneapolis – Reconstruction Destructed Film & Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Reconstruction Destructed\, sixth in the “Juneteenth Reckoning with Slavery” film series\, aims to shine a light on the most misunderstood period in American History and why it remains critically important to understand today. “It challenges our understanding of the impact of slavery and its ongoing impact throughout the United States\,” said Monique Linder\, Film Director and CEO\, OMG Studios. “As our nation struggles to come to grips with our history of racial caste\, the legal luminaries\, civil rights leaders\, and educational scholars are excellent guides not only to illuminate the past but more importantly to provide a path forward\,” added Kevin Lindsey\, CEO\, Minnesota Humanities Center.\n\nThe film features Minnesota Federal District Court Judge Jerry Blackwell\, Bryan Stevenson\, Esq.\, Executive Director of the Equal Justice Initiative\, Dr. Josie R. Johnson\, University of Minnesota Regent and First Lady of Minnesota Civil Rights\, and Dr. Duchess Harris\, Special Assistant to the Provost and American Studies Professor at Macalester College. Some of the Filming of Reconstruction Destructed occurred at The Legacy Museum in Montgomery\, Alabama\, one of America’s premiere museums examining America’s history of racial injustice.\n \n\nK-12 educators will receive 2 clock hours. \n\nRegistration\nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org \n\nRegister Now\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThank you to our sponsors!
