SUMMARY:Minneapolis - Learning from Place: Somali Cedar Riverside
DESCRIPTION:Cedar Riverside is the heart of the East African community in Minneapolis and home to one of the largest Somali populations in the United States. Over time\, Somali Minnesotans have shaped the neighborhood into a vibrant cultural corridor filled with businesses\, mosques\, and gathering spaces where community life unfolds each day. \nParticipants will begin at Brian Coyle Community Center and hear from respected community leader Halimo Ainte\, who will share reflections on Somali migration\, community building\, and the transformation of Cedar Riverside into a thriving East African neighborhood. Participants will also visit neighborhood spaces such as a local mosque and nearby businesses that serve as everyday gathering places. \nThe experience includes a Somali coffee ceremony that reflects the tradition of roasting spices as a vehicle for welcome\, conversation\, and connection. The learning tour concludes with Somali food samples and reflections. \nK-12 Educators will receive 3 clock hours upon completion of the event. \nThis experience is curated by Yusra Mohamud\, as a longtime connector within South Minneapolis’s East African community\, Yusra brings a rare combination of deep cultural roots and a gift for storytelling that transforms corridors into living narratives of resilience\, identity\, and belonging. \nRegistration\nTo ensure that cost is not a barrier\, we have a limited number of complimentary spaces available for Minnesota residents. If you would like to receive a complimentary spot\, please register with the discount code FEEWAIVER. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org | MHC Cancellation Policy \nRegister Now
