SUMMARY:History Revealed: Suffrage at 100
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nSuffrage at 100: Women in American Politics since 1920\nStacie Taranto and Leandra Zarnow\nHistory Revealed Series\nOctober 1\, 2020\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUpfu-orT0vGt00wZt19hHO5Nd1u3cLld8K \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nThe presentation will be recorded. \nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEditors & authors Stacie Taranto and Leandra Zarnow will discuss their book\, Suffrage at 100\, which looks at women’s engagement in US electoral politics and government over the one hundred years since the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. \nIn the 2018 midterm elections\, 102 women were elected to the House and 14 to the Senate—a record for both bodies. And yet nearly a century after the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment\, the notion of congressional gender parity by 2020—a stated goal of the National Women’s Political Caucus at the time of its founding in 1971—remains a distant ideal. In Suffrage at 100\, Stacie Taranto and Leandra Zarnow brought together twenty-two scholars to take stock of women’s engagement in electoral politics over the past one hundred years. \nThis is the first wide-ranging collection to historically examine women’s full political engagement in and beyond electoral office since they gained a constitutional right to vote. The book explores why women’s access to\, and influence on\, political power remains frustratingly uneven\, particularly for women of color and queer women. Examining how women have acted collectively and individually\, both within and outside of electoral and governmental channels\, the book moves from the front lines of community organizing to the highest glass ceiling. \nEssays touch on: \n• labor and civil rights\n• education\n• environmentalism\n• enfranchisement and voter suppression\n• conservatism vs. liberalism\n• indigeneity and transnationalism\n• LGBTQ and personal politics\n• Pan-Asian\, Chicana\, and black feminisms\n• commemoration and public history\n• and much more. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStacie Taranto is an associate professor of history at Ramapo College of New Jersey. She is the author of Kitchen Table Politics: Conservative Women and Family Values in New York.\nLeandra Zarnow is an assistant professor of history and affiliated faculty in the Women’s\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies Program at the University of Houston. She is the author of Battling Bella: The Protest Politics of Bella Abzug.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: The Sterling Club
DESCRIPTION:101 Years of The Sterling Club: A Window into the Black Experience in Minnesota\nJeremiah Ellis\nWith special guest Former Sterling Club President Levi Brady\n\nThursday\, September 24\, 2020\, 7:00 pm\nIn partnership with the Roseville Library\nLive Zoom Presentation – presentation will be recorded\n \nRegister in advance for this meeting:\n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0lc-yurT8uGNOTDIQM34UZ1cADwOpzglyy \n\nAfter registering\, participants will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \n\nHistorian and author Jeremiah E. Ellis will present the history and the stories behind the Sterling Club\, and African-American club in Saint Paul that recently celebrated its 100th Anniversary. The Sterling Club emerged from injustices toward Black men in Ramsey County. In 2020\, renewed calls for racial justice have been catalyzed by the experiences of Black men in Minnesota. Similar patterns of racial discrimination along the Club’s century ring true today. This conversation looks at the hundred years of Club history including first hand accounts of members and rarely seen pictures from the local African American community. Jeremiah Ellis will share about the Club history\, more recent activities and connect the history to experiences of being a Black man in Minnesota. Jeremiah Ellis will be joined by Sterling Club’s Former President\, Levi Brady. \n\nIn 1919\, a group of mostly mid-career gentlemen from St. Paul’s African American community incorporated a social club of their own. The Sterling Club welcomed visiting dignitaries\, gathered for formal balls\, and celebrated individual and collective accomplishments – and they also mobilized against discrimination and created community cohesion. The men\, and women\, of the Sterling Club worked alongside civic leaders to highlight and address racist practices\, helped heal a community torn apart by the construction of the interstate\, served as a haven from discrimination\, and mentored young people within the community. Over the decades\, many of St. Paul’s social clubs have come and gone\, but the Sterling Club continues to stand strong. \n\nJeremiah Ellis’s great grandparents owned The Booker T. Restaurant on Rondo Avenue before its destruction for Interstate 94. Jeremiah is Secretary of the Board for the African American Interpretive Center of Minnesota which is dedicated to sharing black Minnesota history through exhibitions and events. Jeremiah’s research into Saint Paul’s historic Black community\, titled St. Paul’s Distinct Leadership Tradition: A Century of The Sterling Club\, was published by the Ramsey County Historical Society in Ramsey County History magazine last year. Jeremiah parents his elementary age son in Saint Paul with his wife. \n\nFeatured image: The Sterling Club’s original Clubhouse\, begun in 1924 at 315 North Dale Street\, was designed by Sterling Club member\, Clarence W. Wigington. Photo by Arthur H.P. Rhodes\, courtesy of the Sterling Club archives.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Closing Time 2020
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nBill Lindeke & Andy Sturdevant\, Closing Time: Saloons\, Taverns\, Dives\, and Watering Holes of the Twin Cities\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nSeptember 17\, 2020\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwocOipqDoiGdGdnOHk121NVwVcEePd5L-p\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nThe presentation will be recorded. \nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library \nAn entertaining journey into the highs\, lows\, bright spots\, and dark corners of the Twin Cities’ most famous and infamous drinking establishments—history viewed from the barstool. \nIn 1838\, a rum trader named “Pig’s Eye” Parrant built a small shack in a Mississippi bluff that became the first business in the city of St. Paul: a saloon. Since then\, bars\, taverns\, saloons\, and speakeasies have been part of the cultural\, social\, and physical landscape of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Serving as neighborhood landmarks\, sites of political engagement\, welcoming centers for immigrants\, hotbeds of criminal activity\, targets of ire from church and state alike\, and\, of course\, a place to get a drink\, the story of the taverns and saloons of the Twin Cities is the story of the cities themselves. \nIn Closing Time\, Bill Lindeke and Andy Sturdevant dive into tales from famous and infamous drinking establishments from throughout Twin Cities history. Readers are led on a multigenerational pub crawl through speakeasies\, tied houses\, rathskellers\, cocktail lounges\, gin mills\, fern bars\, social clubs\, singles bars\, gastropubs\, and dives. Featuring beloved bars like Matt’s\, Palmer’s\, the Payne Reliever\, and Moby Dick’s\, the book also resurrects memories of long-forgotten establishments cherished in their day. Lindeke and Sturdevant highlight neighborhood dives\, downtown nightspots\, and out-of-the-way hideaways\, many of which continue to thrive today. Closing Time brings together stories of these spaces and the people who frequented them. \nBooks will be available for purchase at Subtext Books. \nBill Lindeke\, Ph.D.\, is an urban geographer and writer who focuses on how our environments shape our lives. He wrote MinnPost’s Cityscapes column from 2014 to 2017\, has written articles on local food and drink history for City Pages and the Growler\, and has taught urban geography at the University of Minnesota and Metro State University.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Black Women's Struggle for the Right to Vote
DESCRIPTION:Black Women’s Struggle for the Right to Vote\nA Conversation with Dr. Martha S. Jones\nWednesday\, August 12\, 2020\, 7:00 PM\nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library\nOnline event – Facebook & Youtube:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1586684121516628/ \nTo pre-order the book (out in September) from our partner\, Subtext Books\, see https://subtextbooks.com/books/pre-order-vanguard-by-martha-jones \nAmidst all the turmoil of 2020\, it has been easy to forget that this year marks the centennial of the Women’s Suffrage amendment. It has unfortunately also been easy to take the given narrative for all there is to know. In her new book\, Vanguard: How Black Women Broke Barriers\, Won the Vote\, and Insisted on Equality for All\, Martha Jones challenges the standard story that the suffrage crusade began in Seneca Falls in 1848 and ended with the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920. She details how African American women defied both racism and sexism to fight for the ballot\, and how they wielded political power to secure the equality and dignity of all people. \nVanguard rests on careful scholarship\, but is written with a wide readership in mind. It is being hailed by scholars and public intellectuals across the country. Jones “is as bold and necessary to our understanding of ourselves as the women in this important work\,”writes Tressie McMillan Cottom. “Martha S. Jones reminds her readers that Black women stand as America’s original feminists\,” adds Erica Armstrong Dunbar. Henry Louis Gates\,Jr.\, points out that “at a moment when our very democracy is under assault\, Vanguard reminds us to look for hope in those most denied it. \nProfessor Jones is a Professor of History\, Johns Hopkins University and a public historian\, frequently writing for broader audiences at the Washington Post\, the Atlantic\, USAToday\, Public Books\, the Chronicle of Higher Education\, and Time\, the curatorship of museum exhibitions including“Reframing the Color Line” and “Proclaiming Emancipation” in conjunction with the William L. Clements Library\, and museum\,film and video productions with the Smithsonian’s NationalPortrait Gallery\, the Charles Wright Museum of African American History\, PBS\, The American Experience\, the Southern Poverty Law Center\, Netflix\, and Arte (France.)

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Exploring the Historical Roots of Racism in Minnesota
DESCRIPTION:History Revealed: Exploring the Historical Roots of Racism in Minnesota\nA conversation with Bill Green\, Christopher Lehman\, and Marty Case\nModerated by Peter Rachleff\n \nThursday\, July 9\, 2020\, 7:00 pm\nFacebook Event \nPremiere on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/EastSideFreedomLibrary/videos/904936243330741/)\, YouTube (https://youtu.be/OK64iOMWcQg). \nIn the past year\, local historians have published three eye-opening books\, each of which\, grounded in careful research\, explore the roles played by racism in the development of Minnesota. Marty Case’s The Relentless Business of Treaties explores how the U.S.\, territorial\, and state governments\, and their leaders\, stole land from the indigenous people who had lived here for centuries. Chris Lehman’s Slavery’s Reach reveals the power and influence exerted by wealthy southern slaveholders in the early years of the “North Star State\,” and the cooperation extended to them by the state’s founders. Bill Green’s Children of Lincoln tracks the journeys away from abolition and racial equality trod by the new state’s leaders in the immediate post-Civil War years. \nThese three historians undertook their research and wrote their books independently of each other. Each of them has spoken about his book at ESFL. Now\, we are able to bring them together for a conversation about the connections and implications of their conclusions. Given the heightened concern over racism being expressed in our communities\, this is a timely conversation for them—and for us—to have. Please join us. \nClick “Going” and share on Facebook!
