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. Grow your understanding of this history with an interactive\, in-person walking tour of downtown/central Minneapolis\, an area deeply entangled with LGBTQ+ people’s stories\, movements\, and place in the world.   \nBe immersed by traveling through downtown Minneapolis\, interspersing history with storytelling from local LGBTQ+ activists and artists.  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. Audio headsets will be provided for amplification of the tour guide and storytellers.  \nThis event is open to all. Members of Minnesota’s LGBTQ+ community are welcome to register using promo code LGBTQ-HISTORY to waive the fee if they wish.  \nTo ensure that cost is not a barrier\, we have a limited number of complimentary spaces available for all Minnesota residents.

SUMMARY:Online - Truth\, Equity\, & Justice:  How We Make Our Way Forward (Again) Together Conference
DESCRIPTION:Due to unforeseen circumstances the Truth\, Justice\, and Equity conference will be held virtually. 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

SUMMARY:Duluth - Kumbayah The Juneteenth Story
DESCRIPTION:In 2021\, Juneteenth was written into law as a national day of observance\, yet many people are unfamiliar with its meaning and the insight it offers in addressing current social injustice. Minnesota Humanities Center is honored to collaborate with Duluth Public Schools\, Sweet Potato Comfort Pie and the greater Duluth community to bring the significance of this day to life. \nKumbayah The Juneteenth Story\, written by Rose McGee\, is a 90-minute  two-act  dramatization of a traumatic time in our history – when news was deliberately withheld that Black people were no longer enslaved 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. Stay for a post-show discussion with the cast moderated by Carl Crawford from the Duluth Office of Human Rights. \nOpen seating will begin at 6:45 p.m.  The show will start promptly at 7:00 p.m. \nRegistration\nThe performance is free to attend but registration is required in managing seating capacity. \nOpen seating will begin at 6:45 p.m.  The show will start promptly at 7:00 p.m. \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:St. Cloud and ONLINE - Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times
DESCRIPTION:Engage in lively thought-provoking conversations on what it means to live a virtuous life. There are numerous reasons the insights of ancient philosophers such as Epicurus\, Confucius\, and Aristotle have stood the test of time. \n  \n“Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old.

SUMMARY:St. Paul – Educator Workshop: Black Freedom Struggles
DESCRIPTION:Black Freedom Struggles\, with Adam Bledsoe and Lauretta Dawolo-Towns\nThis workshop will explore Black struggle as a global phenomenon with particular emphasis on historical and current movements led by Black communities. During this interactive workshop we will investigate Black freedom struggles from around the world\, paying special attention to these Black forms of struggle as expressions of Black agency and self-definition. The workshop will help broaden our understanding of Black freedom struggles beyond well-known moments like the emancipation of slavery and Juneteenth\, as we delve into topics like maroon communities\, work stoppages\, and self-defense from locations including the U.S.\, Brazil\, Cuba\, and Angola. We will also emphasize how historical struggles continue to influence present-day politics. Through large and small group projects and hands-on activities we will think through how to best incorporate these often-unknown struggles into classroom curriculum. Participants will have access to new resources\, materials\, and tools to help improve student learning in the classroom. \n  \nScholar Adam Bledsoe is an assistant professor in the Geography\, Environment & Society Department at the University of Minnesota. Born and raised in the Twin Cities\, Adam’s intellectual and political commitments revolve around the ways in which Afro-Diasporic communities analyze and critique dominant forms of politics\, while also conceiving of\, and enacting\, their own political formations. His work has taken him around the United States\, the Caribbean\, Central America\, and South America\, where he has learned from\, and exchanged ideas with\, a variety of Black communities. \n  \nLead Teacher Lauretta Dawolo Towns earned her B.A. in English and American & Racial Multicultural Studies with a Media Studies minor at St. Olaf College in 2004. Her professional background is in community and ethnic media\, specializing in coverage of underrepresented and underserved populations. In 2016\, she received a Master of Arts in Education from Augsburg University after earning a teaching license in Communication Arts and Literature. She currently teaches 8th grade English Language Arts at Roseville Middle School\, and also teaches in the Adult Basic Education program in the same district. Lauretta lives in Inver Grove Heights with her husband and two sons. \n   \nFor the full Learning Journey experience\, we recommend signing up for these Learning in Community offerings: Kumbayah: The Juneteenth Story. \n  \nRegistration\nIf cost is a barrier\, please contact Jessica Rust at jessica@mnhum.org before registering. \nK-12 educators will receive 6 clock hours. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org | MHC Cancellation Policy \n  \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:St. Paul – The Impact of War\, Writing Workshops Facilitated by Warrior Writers
DESCRIPTION:Join Warrior Writers for a series of workshops to address the myriad experiences of war for Veterans and non-Veterans through the medium of writing. In these workshops you’ll be putting pen to paper to record feelings\, memories\, traumas\, personal histories or whatever comes to mind in the moment. There is no such thing as correct or polished writing\, and no previous experience is necessary. We’ll help you keep the pen moving! \nAlong with writing\, the workshops will foster positive relationships between those impacted by war\, and develop a deeper understanding and reclaiming of our personal and generational histories. Although the workshops are not therapy\, many find this format to be cathartic and useful in the reintegration into society. Many also find the process insightful and validating as you can make sense out of your experience through writing it down. \nWe recommend participants attend all four sessions if possible. Refreshments will be provided for morning sessions; dinner will be provided for the evening session. \nWarrior Writers is a national non-profit whose mission is to create a culture that articulates veterans’ experiences\, build a collaborative community for artistic expression\, and bear witness to war and the full range of military experiences. \nSchedule\nSaturday\, June 4\, 2022 – 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Session One\nSaturday\, June 11\, 2022 – 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Session Two\nSaturday\, June 18\, 2022 – 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Session Three\nThursday\, June 23\, 2022 – 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. – Session Four \nRegistration\nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org | MHC Cancellation Policy \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:St. Paul – Minnesota Writers Series: We Are Meant to Rise
DESCRIPTION:Join the Minnesota Humanities Center (MHC) for readings and an interactive round table discussion around the book\, “We Are Meant to Rise: Voices for Justice from Minneapolis to the World\,” which was published by University of Minnesota Press with More Than a Single Story. \nThe book’s editors\, Carolyn Holbrook and David Mura\, will be joined by contributors Anika Fajardo\, Samantha Sencer-Mura\, Suleiman Adan\, and Tess Montgomery\, to discuss the heavy task of writing about the past few years as writers of color\, from COVID-19 and the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes to the community’s response to the murder of George Floyd.  The panel\, which includes two sets of family members\, will also discuss how we talk about trauma and share stories generationally. Audience members will be invited to join in on the conversation at various points in the evening. \nThis event is part of the MHC’s new Minnesota Writers Series\, which amplifies recent publications from Minnesota authors\, and is being co-sponsored by Saint Paul Almanac. \nThis event is free but registration is required. \nRegistration\nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org  \n  \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:St. Paul – The Impact of War\, Writing Workshops Facilitated by Warrior Writers
DESCRIPTION:Join Warrior Writers for a series of workshops to address the myriad experiences of war for Veterans and non-Veterans through the medium of writing. In these workshops you’ll be putting pen to paper to record feelings\, memories\, traumas\, personal histories or whatever comes to mind in the moment. There is no such thing as correct or polished writing\, and no previous experience is necessary. We’ll help you keep the pen moving! \nAlong with writing\, the workshops will foster positive relationships between those impacted by war\, and develop a deeper understanding and reclaiming of our personal and generational histories. Although the workshops are not therapy\, many find this format to be cathartic and useful in the reintegration into society. Many also find the process insightful and validating as you can make sense out of your experience through writing it down. \nWe recommend participants attend all four sessions if possible. Refreshments will be provided for morning sessions; dinner will be provided for the evening session. \nWarrior Writers is a national non-profit whose mission is to create a culture that articulates veterans’ experiences\, build a collaborative community for artistic expression\, and bear witness to war and the full range of military experiences. \nSchedule\nSaturday\, June 4\, 2022 – 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Session One\nSaturday\, June 11\, 2022 – 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Session Two\nSaturday\, June 18\, 2022 – 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. – Session Three\nThursday\, June 23\, 2022 – 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. – Session Four \nRegistration\nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org | MHC Cancellation Policy \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:Golden Valley – Kumbayah The Juneteenth Story (Reception and Evening Performance)
DESCRIPTION:In 2021\, Juneteenth was written into law as a national day of observance\, yet many people are unfamiliar with its meaning and the insight it offers in addressing current social injustice. Minnesota Humanities Center is honored to collaborate with Sweet Potato Comfort Pie and community to bring the significance of this day to life. \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. A special reception with light refreshments and emphasis on the significance of voting precedes the 7:00 p.m. show from 5:30 p.m. to 6:50 p.m. \nPerformances are free to attend\, but registration is required. \nRegistration\nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org \n  \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED
