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. If you would like to receive a complimentary spot\, please register with the promo code FEEWAIVER. \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:St. Paul - Armed With Language: Film Talk
DESCRIPTION:In the height of WWII\, Historic Ft. Snelling was home to a little-known Military Intelligence Service Language School (MISLS). Thousands of Nisei men and women (second generation Japanese Americans) were trained as linguists and translators and played a crucial role in helping the U.S. to end the war. They served in the U.S. military despite the fact that tens of thousands of Americans of Japanese descent were being imprisoned in concentration camps for the supposed security risk they posed to the country.  \nTheir story is shared in the 2021 TPT documentary\, Armed With Language. Join producer Katie O’Rourke as she engages the film’s writer David Mura\, and Karen Tanaka Lucas who is featured in the film\, in a reflective conversation\, a year on from its debut. Along with viewing some of the film footage\, Katie\, David and Karen will explore why this history has remained so hidden from public knowledge\, their personal stories and connections with MISLS\, and the complicated histories that intertwine at the site of Historic Ft. Snelling. The conversation will end with a Q&A session with audience members.  \nHosted by Historic Ft. Snelling\, in partnership with the Minnesota Historical Society\, TPT Twin Cities\, and the Twin Cities Chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL). This is a free event. \nRegistration\nDoors of the Plank Museum and Visitors Center at Historic Fort Snelling will open at 5:15 p.m.; the event will begin at 6:00 p.m.in the Event Space on the second floor; audience members are invited to bring their curiosity and questions to share with the speakers. \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:St. Paul - Objects of War: A Storytelling Circle
DESCRIPTION:Join the Minnesota Humanities Center on Saturday\, November 5 at 10:30 a.m. for a storytelling circle centered around “Objects of War.” Whether dog tags of a family member lost in service\, a good luck charm kept by a soldier\, or a family heirloom that traveled across the world by a refugee\, objects can hold deep meaning for those who have been impacted by war.  \nParticipants are invited to bring their own object to share that helps them tell the story of their own connection to war\, whether direct or indirect. Moderated by a Veteran and a refugee\, the conversation will examine why we hold on to certain material objects\, and how they can help us better understand the human experience of war. Noted photographer Xavier Tavera will be on hand to photograph interested participants with their objects. Co-sponsored by the Minnesota Historical Society and the Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans. \nRegistration\nRegistration is required for this free event. Open to the public; lunch will be provided.  \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:Bemidji - Treaties\, Strategies\, and Traditionalism
DESCRIPTION:This talk foregrounds Indigenous perspectives\, specifically those of the Anishinaabeg of Minnesota and Quebec\, on treaty signing\, economic activities\, and the seasonal round. Comparing Native and White perspectives on treaty signing throws into sharp relief the divergent understandings\, cultural differences\, and foreclosed opportunities that characterized these encounters. Participants will examine petitions and treaties from the mid- and late nineteenth centuries and put them in conversation with newer scholarship that emphasizes the Native perspective and a contextual approach to analysis.  This presentation will also encourage participants to consider the importance of how we interpret these petitions and treaties in terms of writing an accurate and more comprehensive history as well as their juridical implications in front of a conservative U.S. Supreme Court that has recently veered decidedly to the right.   \nRaised in Massachusetts\, Dr. Dennis Fisher is a descendant of Algonquin and Nipissing Anishinaabeg from Quebec. He was taught by his late mentor Stan Dumont Whiteduck and Elders at Kitigan Zibi — the largest and oldest Algonquin reserve in Canada.  He is a veteran and served as an emergency room medic in the United States Air Force.  He holds a PhD in History as well as a doctoral graduate portfolio in Native American and Indigenous Studies.  He has recently had an article published in American Indian Quarterly titled\, “War\, Wampum\, and Recognition: Algonquin Transborder Political Activism During the Early Twentieth Century\, 1919-1931.”  He is currently under contract with the University of British Columbia Press to publish his upcoming work\, To Not Sell One Perch:  Algonquin Politics and Culture at Kitigan Zibi During the Twentieth Century.  He has previously taught at White Earth Tribal and Community College and is currently Assistant Professor of Indigenous Studies at Bemidji State University. \nRegistration\nThis event is free\, but registration is required. \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:Online - Woman Life Freedom (3 part series)
DESCRIPTION:Illustration by Roshi Rouzbehani \n*$30 is the fee for all three sessions. Participants must attend all three sessions. \nThis winter\, MHC will be hosting a timely virtual course\, Woman\, Life\, Freedom: The Iranian Women’s Revolution in Transnational Context\, with Dr. Yalda Hamidi from Minnesota State University-Mankato. The Iranian Feminist Movement of the moment is the first female-led movement in the Middle East and the world\, which received global support and transnational solidarities\, and incited several national and regional feminist resistance movements in Afghanistan\, Turkey\, India\, and more. Understanding this movement can change our knowledge of the “other women” and how we perceive them in America and will challenge how we locate our feminist demand here in Minnesota. \nThis virtual course will meet for three weeks\, and participants will learn more about Iranian history and culture\, women’s rights in Iran\, and the current women’s revolution\, using pre-assigned readings and primary resources to guide their discussions. Key speakers will also be involved in each session to contribute their perspectives and engage participants in conversation. \nYalda Hamidi (She/Her/Hers) is an Assistant Professor of Gender and Women’s Studies at Minnesota State University Mankato and a member of the Ms. Committee of Scholars. She identifies as a teacher\, mentor\, storyteller\, sister\, and auntie. At MNSU Mankato\, Yalda teaches transnational feminism\, feminist pedagogy\, and queer identities courses. In her research\, she writes about the importance of politics of location for understanding the feminism/s of non-white and non-Western women. Yalda’s non-academic work strives to share the stories of Iranian women championing and fighting intersectional systems of oppression.  \nView Full Bio \nSchedule:\nJanuary 18\, 2023 – 5:30-7:30 p.m.\nJanuary 25\, 2023 – 5:30-7:30 p.m.\nFebruary 1\, 2023 – 5:30-7:30 p.m. \nRegistration\n*$30 is the fee for all three sessions.

SUMMARY:St. Paul - Minnesota Writers Series: The Stories Whiteness Tells Itself Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us in celebrating the release of David Mura’s new book\, “The Stories Whiteness Tells Itself: Racial Myths and Our American Narratives”\, released in January of 2023 by University of Minnesota Press. Following a reading of selections from the new book\, Mura will be joined by best-selling author and President of Innocent Technologies Alexs Pate for a discussion on the issues of race\, history and education. A book signing will follow the talk. Part of the Minnesota Writers Series. Co-sponsored by University of Minnesota Press.  \nAbout the book: From the country’s founding through the summer of Black Lives Matter in 2020\, Mura’s new book unmasks how white stories about race attempt to erase the brutality of the past and underpin systemic racism in the present. Mura shows how deeply we need to change our racial narratives to dissolve the myth of Whiteness and fully acknowledge the experiences of Black Americans. Poet Douglas Kearney has said of Mura’s new book that it “offers what so many Americans claim they want: a rigorous education in perceiving themselves stripped of their dearest myths.” \nAbout the author: David Mura is a poet\, writer of creative nonfiction and fiction\, critic\, and playwright. He is author of “A Stranger’s Journey: Race\, Identity\, and Narrative Craft in Writing” and the memoirs “Turning Japanese: Memoirs of a Sansei” and “Where the Body Meets Memory: An Odyssey of Race\, Sexuality\, and Identity”. He is coeditor\, with Carolyn Holbrook\, of  “We Are Meant to Rise: Voices for Justice from Minneapolis to the World” (2021). He lives in Minneapolis. \nRegistration\nThis event is free\, but registration is required. \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

SUMMARY:St. Paul - Feeding Our Souls: The Essence of Asian Joy
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we commemorate Asian Cultural Heritage Month in May through food. Award-winning Chef Ann Ahmed\, owner of Lat14 and Khâluna Restaurants\, will prepare a few of her own authentic dishes. Anh-Hoa Nguyen\, cultural food artist\, poet\, community activist\, and educator will take audiences on a tasting journey of “rice.” These comfort foods will be served through Chef Ann and Anh-Hoa’s experiences from the richness of diverse Asian cultures. Special storytelling by award-winning artist and comedian Tou Ger Xiong. Participants will partake in the variety of flavors through “taste circles” and share memories of food from their own experiences. \nÁnh-Hoa Thị Nguyễn\, MFA is a refugee\, poet\, community artist\, curator\, educator and food scholar/writer. In 2018\, she was the artist-in-residence for The Floating Library with her project Waves Enfolding: A Paper Memorial that honored lives lost during the Vietnamese refugee waves of 1954 and after the war in Vietnam and South East Asia\, 1975-1992. Her most recent publication is a food essay titled Buy 10 Get 1 Free! Open Letter to Bánh Mì Wanna Be’s in “What We Hunger For: Refugee and Immigrant Stories about Food and Family” edited by Sun Yung Shin 신 선 영. 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

DESCRIPTION:The Minnesota Humanities Center (MHC) is excited to host Headscarf Story Circle – a series of four offerings that recognizes the strength and resiliency of women. Join us as we gather together through the shared connection of the headscarf and its complexity. Events feature engaging activities that inspire perseverance\, hope and healing. Guests are encouraged to wear a headscarf or head dress that is symbolic of anything from a fashion statement\, cultural identity\, health related\, or memories\, and beliefs. \nOur first session\, held in March\, included inspiring stories and conversation over tea. Our second session is centered around “The Gift.” Participants are encouraged to bring an object that is symbolic of their own personal life lesson\, acquired strength\, or journey of resiliency – such as a book\, food item\, photo\, or cultural piece. Or they may choose to offer something intangible such as a song\, poem\, or dance. Each person will share a story of the item they are gifting. Then each listener will select a gift based upon the story that most impacts them. The object itself may be one that is given or can be returned to the owner at the end of the experience. Through the act of gift sharing\, participants will leave feeling connected and uplifted.  \nA breakfast buffet with live music will be available from 8:30-9:00 only.
