SUMMARY:Cuyuna Lakes - Sketches of Minnesota
DESCRIPTION:“Clear Lakes. Deep Woods. One Community.”\nJoin the Minnesota Humanities Center\, Danger Boat Productions\, and Clearwater Forest Camp and Retreat Center for the Sketches of Minnesota civic improv comedy tour! These free events use laughter and comedy to celebrate Minnesota communities\, promote dialogue\, bridge divides\, and help find ways to work constructively across differences in today’s political environment. \nBeginning with a catered meal\, these gatherings invite audience members to share what makes their town great\, what they think people get wrong about it\, what local divisions concern them\, and what future they imagine. An improv comedy troupe listens in on the conversations\, takes everything they heard from residents\, and brings it to life on stage through entirely unscripted improv comedy theater. \n\n5:00–6:00 PM: Doors open / Community hour\n6:00–7:15 PM: Dinner\n7:15–8:00 PM: Performances\n8:00–8:30 PM: Talkback\n\nHost Partner: Clearwater Forest Camp and Retreat Center \nCommunity Partner: \n\n \nThe work of the Minnesota Humanities Center is to create a stronger Minnesota by increasing our understanding of the beauty\, wisdom and stories of its people. Through partnerships\, we facilitate the spaces\, like Sketches of Minnesota\, that seek to build connections and deepen understanding of ourselves and our communities in pursuit of a more just society.

SUMMARY:Minneapolis - Westminster Town Hall Forum: Arc Toward Justice 2024
DESCRIPTION:Wesley Lowery is the author of American Whitelash: A Changing Nation and the Cost of Progress. It tells the story of how the election of the nation’s first Black president reignited long-burning embers of white supremacy. It was a New York Times best-seller\, was named one of NPR’s books of the year\, and described as “indispensable” by Ibram X. Kendi. \nFollowing the police killing of Michael Brown\, Lowery launched Fatal Force — a real-time national database of people shot and killed by the police. That database — which remains the most reliable public data on police shootings — won the Pulitzer Prize\, the George Polk Award\, and the Peabody Award and was named one of the decade’s top 10 works of journalism. \nHe is also a Journalist-in-Residence at the CUNY Newmark Graduate School of Journalism and a contributing editor at The Marshall Project. He is the executive editor of the Investigative Reporting Workshop\, an innovative “training hospital” journalism non-profit based at American University in Washington DC that trains a rising generation of journalists by partnering them with professional newsrooms to work on projects that fill crucial gaps in media coverage. \nMore About Wesley Lowery\nLowery began his career covering politics\, but in 2014 was sent to Ferguson\, Mo.\, to cover the police killing of Michael Brown for the Washington Post. In the years that followed\, he would chronicle the early years of the Black Lives Matter movement\, writing a bestselling book and launching Fatal Force. \nIn the years that followed he led and contributed to investigative projects that examined unsolved homicides in major American cities (Pulitzer Prize finalist)\, what happens to fired police officers\, so-called repeat offender criminal defendants\, fentanyl overdoses in major cities (in 2017 and 2022)\, the failures to catch the deadliest serial killer in American history\, and what happens to people who are shot by the police and survive. He’s latest book\, American Whitelash\, published in June 2023\, chronicles the rise in white supremacist violence in the years since Barack Obama’s election. \nLowery hosted “Unfinished: Ernie’s Secret” an investigative podcast that explores the life of Ernest Withers\, a legendary civil rights photographer who was also a paid FBI informant. He also served as co-host of “More Than A Vote: Our Voices\, Our Vote.” He was an executive producer of In the Cold Dark Night\, an Emmy-nominated documentary chronicling the effort to solve the 1983 lynching of Timothy Coggins. \nWebby Award for Best News and Politics Podcast (2021)\nThe Frederick Douglass 200 (2019)\nChristopher Isherwood prize for autobiographical prose (2017)\nEbony 100 (2016)\nThe Root 100 (2015 & 2016)\nApex Society Power 30 under 30 recipient\nRARE 40 under 40 recipient\nLotos Foundation Prize in the Arts and Sciences (2017)\nWayne State University “Spirit of Diversity” Award (2015)\nEmerging Journalist of the Year\, The National Assoc of Black Journalists (2014) \nRegistration\nThis event is free and open to all. \nThere is no ticketing or registration.

SUMMARY:Rochester - 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 Rochester area communities in collaboration with the following local organizations: Mayo Clinic\, Rochester Branch of the NAACP\, and Rochester 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 required. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED
