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

SUMMARY:St. Paul – Telling My Story!
DESCRIPTION:This full day writing retreat is open to all members of the Black community\, writers at all levels and nonwriters alike. After a year and a half of conversations with 16 local writers from our Minnesota literary community\, including African Caribbean\, African American\, and those from multiethnic parentage as well as from the continent of Africa\, the Minnesota Black Publishing Arts Collaborative would like to engage the Black community in the process of naming strength and finding healing through writing. This opportunity will help provide a safe and comfortable space to start the writing process\, remove some of the barriers of confidence\, and provide a roadmap on where or how to start.   \nTo make the writing process accessible and enjoyable\, Ebony Adedayo (founder of the Aya Collective\, a space that centers the expertise and experience of Black women\, and program manager at the Jan Serie Center for Scholarship and Teaching at Macalester College) and Pamela Fletcher Bush (executive director of Saint Paul Almanac) will gently lead workshop participants in guided writing exercises and discussion that will demonstrate the love for writing and how it can be used as a tool.   \nBecause we know that stories humanize us\, the workshop will feature writers T. Aaron Cisco and Junauda Petrus-Nasah\, who will read their works to illustrate how using one’s unique voice to tell personal stories brings necessary healing. They have used the pen to help them process and heal from significant events that have interrupted and or impacted their lives.  \nThis writing retreat is being offered by the Minnesota Black Publishing Arts Collaborative in collaboration with the Minnesota Humanities Center.   \nContinental breakfast and lunch are included. A journal will be provided. Registration will be limited to 40 participants.  \nRegistration\nYou are welcome to register using promo code COMMUNITY to waive the fee if you wish. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org | MHC Cancellation Policy \nRegistration Deadline Date: Saturday\, April 16\, 2022 \n  \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS OFFERING HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:Saint Paul – MnWE 2022: “Changing the Narrative: Empowering Stories”
DESCRIPTION:The Minnesota Humanities Center is excited to host the 2022 Minnesota Writing & English Conference and collaborate with MnWE in exploring the theme\, “Changing the Narrative: Empowering Stories.” This year’s conference will open with a Thursday morning Plenary Session sponsored by the Minnesota Humanities Center.   \nDo you believe stories frame identities\, infuse the texts we explore\, and inspire our students’ and our own writing? Join our CEO\, Kevin Lindsey\, as he hosts a conversation with Carolyn Holbrook and David Mura about their new anthology\, We Are Meant to Rise: Voices for Justice from Minneapolis to the World. This brilliant and rich gathering of voices on the American experience of this past year and beyond\, from Indigenous writers and writers of color from Minnesota\, not only provides valued witness to our present but also speaks to our collective future. This collection of stories is an ideal lens to focus pressing themes central to this year’s conference. Their conversation will include how dominant cultural narratives about race\, gender\, or class impact teaching and relationships with students\, how educators navigate these dominant narratives\, and how educators may question and resist persistent cultural narratives that reproduce inequality in the classroom. \nParticipate in-person at the Minnesota Humanities Center or virtually via ZOOM. \nRegistration\nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED \nLEARN MORE
