SUMMARY:St. Paul - Teachability Factors in General and Special Education: Harnessing Adult Data for Change
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special training for building and district administrators and school board leaders with Dr. Keith Mayes and Maria Roberts on Teachability Factors and Adult Data in General and Special Education. \nAs school districts examine and employ student data in the modification of their classroom practices\, few researchers have called for a deep examination of adult data\, and how it can be harnessed for change. Through the lens of racialized special education\, this session will examine a broad spectrum of adult data in the areas of tolerability\, efficacy\, mindset\, and relationships. We will demonstrate that when we refuse to look at school wide or adult data\, we run the risk of believing students and families are inherently flawed. Educators most often find these “flaws” in our minoritized students and communities. When we refuse to interrogate the system\, we believe it is functioning appropriately. We transfer the “problems of a system” to create the “problem student.”  \nDuring this workshop\, participants will:  \n\nDeepen their knowledge of the racialized history of special education and make connections to current practice.\nReflect on current instructional practices and teachability factors in order to improve support for effective instruction. \nIdentify current sorting and removal practices within their own districts that create inequitable outcomes within both special and general education.\nConsider how the implementation of tools or practices have either replicated or changed student outcomes.\n\nThis event is open to all Minnesota superintendents\, school board members\, equity directors\, principals\, district-level administrators\, special education directors and assistant directors.  \nRegistration fee includes: \n\nContinental breakfast\, lunch\, and snack\n6 CEUs\nA copy of “The Unteachables: Disability Rights and the Invention of Black Special Education” ($30 value)\n\nDr. Keith Mayes is an Associate Professor at the University of Minnesota; former chair of the Department of African American & African Studies; and the Horace T. Morse Alumni Distinguished Teaching Professor. Dr. Mayes earned his Ph.D. in History from Princeton University. His teaching and research interests include the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements; education policy and history; and the history of African Americans. Dr. Mayes published a new book entitled\, The Unteachables: Disability Rights and the Invention of Black Special Education (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press\, 2023). \nDr. Mayes provides consultant\, professional development\, and training services in the areas of DEI; curriculum development; ethnic and social studies\, and special education.

SUMMARY:St. Paul - Shakespeare in our Parks: Much Ado About Nothing
DESCRIPTION:Minnesota Humanities Center is pleased to host Classical Actors Ensemble as they bring their 9th season of Shakespeare in Our Parks live theater to MHC’s lawn. This year’s play\, which will travel to over 15 locations across the Twin Cities\, will be William Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing.” In this classic romantic comedy of manners\, a Prince and his soldiers returning from a long campaign bring excitement\, intrigue\, and passion to a rural town. Can callow youths and jaded exes both find love when malicious gossip is afoot? \nPicnics\, lawn chairs\, sunbrellas\, and blankets are welcome. Please note that the performance is in an open field with minimal shade. Please plan accordingly. Can’t make that date? Check out Classical Actors Ensemble’s full calendar for other performance across the Twin Cities this summer.  \nFrom Classical Actors Ensemble: “The Theater is a sacred place. It is a public forum where actors and audience gather to contemplate what it means to be human. Shakespeare and his contemporaries grappled with that question in some of the English language’s best poetry\, leaving behind a canon of compelling stories with universal themes that provide invigorating challenge for actors and an awe-inspiring legacy for audiences. Classical Actors Ensemble performs the plays of the English Renaissance as they were originally intended: as popular entertainment for everyone. By demonstrating why these works of art are considered classic\, we freshly prove their relevance in today’s world.” \nRegistration\nRegistration is appreciated on the Classical Actors Ensemble website but not required.  \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:St. Cloud - Kumbayah The Juneteenth Story
DESCRIPTION:In 2021\, Juneteenth was written into law as a national day of observance. Following\, on February 3rd\, 2023\, Juneteenth became an official state holiday in Minnesota.  Although awareness has grown\, many people are still unfamiliar with why we celebrate Juneteenth and the insight it offers in addressing current social injustice. Minnesota Humanities Center and Sweet Potato Comfort Pie are proud to bring Kumbayah the Juneteenth Story to St. Cloud area communities in collaboration with host partner United Way of Central Minnesota and local organizations.\n  \n\nKumbayah The Juneteenth Story from iDream.tv on Vimeo. \n \nKumbayah The Juneteenth Story\, written by Rose McGee\, is a 90-minute fictitious\, two-act play that addresses a factual and traumatic time in our history – when news was deliberately withheld that Black people were no longer to be kept as slaves in this country. Storytelling and music weave together mesmerizing scenes. Although tragedy is depicted\, this play within a play is tremendously uplifting. The story begins with a Prologue set in the early 1800s in a small West African village where a young mother and her small son are being abducted from their home by slave catchers. Act One: Scene One is set in present time in a popular North Minneapolis soul-food restaurant where a group of youths and adults ultimately end up discussing what Juneteenth means. Before long they all agree to attend a play about Juneteenth. The story then shifts into 1863 on the Turner Plantation in Tyler\, Texas with the character Frederick Douglass as Narrator.  \nAlthough interpretation is best suited for ages 8 and up\, children of all ages are welcome to attend.  \nRegistration\nThe evening performance is free to attend\, but registration is required. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:St. Peter - Kumbayah The Juneteenth Story
DESCRIPTION:In 2021\, Juneteenth was written into law as a national day of observance. Following\, on February 3rd\, 2023\, Juneteenth became an official state holiday in Minnesota.  Although awareness has grown\, many people are still unfamiliar with why we celebrate Juneteenth and the insight it offers in addressing current social injustice. Minnesota Humanities Center and Sweet Potato Comfort Pie are proud to bring Kumbayah the Juneteenth Story to St. Peter and Mankato communities in collaboration with the following local host partners: True Essentials Consulting\, Juneteenth Foundation\, and St. Peter Area Public Schools.\n  \n\nKumbayah The Juneteenth Story from iDream.tv on Vimeo. \n \nKumbayah The Juneteenth Story\, written by Rose McGee\, is a 90-minute fictitious\, two-act play that addresses a factual and traumatic time in our history – when news was deliberately withheld that Black people were no longer to be kept as slaves in this country. Storytelling and music weave together mesmerizing scenes. Although tragedy is depicted\, this play within a play is tremendously uplifting. The story begins with a Prologue set in the early 1800s in a small West African village where a young mother and her small son are being abducted from their home by slave catchers. Act One: Scene One is set in present time in a popular North Minneapolis soul-food restaurant where a group of youths and adults ultimately end up discussing what Juneteenth means. Before long they all agree to attend a play about Juneteenth. The story then shifts into 1863 on the Turner Plantation in Tyler\, Texas with the character Frederick Douglass as Narrator.  \nAlthough interpretation is best suited for ages 8 and up\, children of all ages are welcome to attend.  \nRegistration\nThe evening performance is free to attend\, but registration is highly recommended. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

Inspired by “What We Hunger For” Ánh-Hoa was also the artist-in-residence for Saint Paul Public Library’s 2022 Read Brave program where she created and curated an interactive community art installation called Recipes for Care that invited community members to share “recipes that ignite\, shape\, and support a community of care in their lives.” Ánh-Hoa is currently working on a food memoir with the Minnesota Historical Society Press and is a member of She Who Has No Master(s)\, a collective of women and gender-nonconforming writers of the Vietnamese diaspora. \nTou Ger Xiong (TOO-JUR-SHONG) was born in Laos in 1973. Since Xiong’s father served with the CIA\, his family had to flee Laos after the communist takeover in 1975. Xiong’s family escaped across the border and sought refuge in a Thai refugee camp. After four years in the camp\, Xiong’s family immigrated to the United States as refugees of war. Xiong’s childhood in America began in the public housing projects of St. Paul. In 1992\, Xiong graduated valedictorian from Humboldt High School. He went on to receive a degree in political science from Carleton College in Northfield\, Minn. In 1996\, Xiong created Project Respectism\, an educational service project that uses comedy\, storytelling and rap music to bridge cultures and generations. Since then\, Project Respectism has evolved into a program that provides cultural entertainment and education for people of all professions and backgrounds. Xiong has taken his message about respect to 44 states in the past 12 years. He has given over 1\,600 presentations nationwide to audiences of all ages and ethnic backgrounds\, sometimes reaching as many as 10\,000 people in a week.  Xiong’s work as a Hmong artist and activist has been featured on national television\, radio and newspaper. He has been quoted as “one of the most influential Hmong in America today.” \nChef Ann Ahmed’s love for cooking started at a very young age\, working in the kitchen alongside her mother whenever she could. She and her family left her birth country of Laos when Ann was two years old. They lived in a Thai refugee camp until she was four\, at which point they were sponsored by her great uncle to come live with him in Minnesota\, which has been home ever since.  Upon their arrival\, her mother took multiple jobs to support their family. Because of her mom’s busy schedule\, Ann rarely had time to spend with her\, so whenever she was home\, Ann was glued to her mother’s side\, especially in the kitchen! This is where Ann’s love of cooking began.  After graduating from high school\, Ann shared with her mother her dream of owning a restaurant. She rejected the idea\, explaining why life in the restaurant industry can be very difficult. Instead\, she suggested Ann go to college and get a degree – in anything except culinary studies.  As such\, Ann moved to San Diego and attended San Diego State University\, where she later earned a BA in Liberal Studies.  One day\, out of the blue\, her mother called – she had gone on a walk that morning\, saw a restaurant for sale\, and asked if Ann would be interested. Of course\, Ann instantly said YES! Ann’s mother was planning to attend Ann’s commencement that week\, and instead\, headed to the bank to start the process of buying the restaurant which is now Lemon Grass. \nThirteen years later\, Ann opened her second restaurant\, Lat14 Asian Eatery; inspired by her love of food and desire to share culture. Mostly\, she wanted to cook the food that brings people together around the table. Lat14 Asian Eatery provides diners the opportunity to eat their way along the exciting\, diverse 14th parallel – without the long airplane trip. Small\, shareable plates are inspired by Chef Ann Ahmed’s connections to Laos\, Thailand\, Cambodia\, Philippines\, and their neighboring countries\, bringing their flavorful cuisines\, ingredients\, and cultural traditions\, to deliver an exceptional culinary experience. \nRegistration\nIf cost is a barrier\, please contact Jessica Rust at jessica@mnhum.org before registering. Due to the focus of this program\, the fee is waived for Asian community members residing in Minnesota. You are invited to register with promo code COMMUNITY23. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org | MHC Cancellation Policy \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:St. Paul - The Rebellious Life of Rosa Parks Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of The Rebellious Life of Rosa Parks\, featuring a discussion after the film moderated by Kevin Lindsey. \nJeanne Theoharis’s book was brought to life in June 2022 as a feature documentary that delves deep into civil rights icon Rosa Parks’ historic work and her role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Through interviews with those who knew her\, powerful archival footage and her own words\, the film tells the story of Parks’ extensive organizing\, radical politics and lifelong dedication to activism. Directors: Johanna Hamilton\, Yoruba Richen. Editor: Èlia Gasull Balada \nAbout the book:\nThe Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks blows away the myths we learned about the “tired seamstress” who gave up her seat on the bus. The only thing she was tired of was injustice. \nParks had an amazing life of activism going back to the 1930s\, beginning with her concern about the Scottsboro Nine through the struggle in the South\, and her work with Myles Horton at the Highlander Folk School\, the bus boycott in Montgomery and then to Detroit where she lived more than half her life. She worked with the left\, communists\, socialists\, the anti-war and black power movements\, and had great admiration and respect for Malcolm X and Robert Williams. \nWhatever we think we know about Rosa Parks\, there is far more we do not know and will learn from this work. The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks is a must for teachers\, parents\, and grandparents\, to undo the damaging myths that essentially began and ended her political life on December 1\, 1955\, frozen in time as Dr. King was on August 28\, 1963. Most Americans are unaware of their anti-war and anti-capitalist views. \nAbout Dr. Josie R. Johnson\nJosie Robinson Johnson is an American community organizer and activist for African American rights. Described by the Minneapolis Star Tribune as the “First Lady of Minnesota Civil Rights\,” she was instrumental in the success of a fair housing bill in Minnesota in 1962. \nDr. Josie Johnson continues to fight for and protect voting rights for Black Minnesotans. She often speaks of her efforts as building upon her ancestors’ struggles for freedom and civil rights. In Minneapolis\, she worked as a community organizer for the Urban League and was active in the League of Women Voters\, eventually becoming the first Black national board member. \nIn the national movement for civil rights\, Johnson was in the official Minnesota delegation at the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Through the Wednesdays in Mississippi movement\, she traveled to Mississippi to support efforts for racial justice\, despite the possibility of retaliation from the Ku Klux Klan. \nAs a lobbyist\, Johnson supported a fair housing bill by gathering evidence of housing discrimination affecting Black Minnesotans. She also played an integral role in the effort to pass the bill establishing the Fair Employment Practices Commission. \nJohnson has always prioritized education. She founded the Junior Service League\, a mentoring program that connected Black girls in junior high with professional Black women. At the University of Minnesota\, she was the first Black woman on the Board of Regents and worked to create the African American Studies Program. \nRegistration\nThis event is free\, but registration is required. \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED
