SUMMARY:History Revealed: Grasshoppers in My Bed

After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nFor questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nJoin author Terry Swanson and illustrator Peggy Stern as they present their new historical fiction book\, Grasshoppers in My Bed\, based on the journal of 11-year- old Lillie Gibbs of Gibbs Farm. \nIt is 1876—Christmas day—which just happens to be the eleventh birthday of Lillie Belle Gibbs. Her mother and father present her with a new journal. Now she must decide how to fill the pages. \nGrasshoppers in her bed\, a smudge pot to keep the mosquitos at bay\, the one-room schoolhouse across the road\, popping corn in the Victorian parlor\, hired hands who work on the farm half the year\, and her best friend\, Minnesota Mae Hendrickson\, all make appearances. \nUsing clues Lillie left behind through writings as a child and an adult\, this important work of historical fiction is filled with stories and illustrations detailing a year in the ordinary life of a real Minnesota farm girl from the 1870s. \nGrasshoppers in My Bed: Lillie Belle Gibbs – A Minnesota Farm Girl – 1877 is available through the Ramsey County Historical Society or other local vendors.\nRCHS Member price: $18.00\nRegular Price: $20.00\nTo order\, see the form here. \nFor more information on the book\, see the post here. \nTerry Swanson is a Minnesota historian who has specialized in public history in the Twin Cities area since 1990. She was director of collections\, education\, and programs at the American Swedish Institute from 1997 to 2005. She worked as program and site manager at Ramsey County Historical Society’s (RCHS) Gibbs Farm from 2007 to 2016. Since retiring in 2017\, she has worked as a historical consultant and with Investigate MN\, a partnership between local libraries and museums (including RCHS) designed for school-age children to boost academic achievement and help close the achievement gap. \nPeggy Stern is a former site interpreter at Gibbs Farm where\, under the direction of the then-program and site manager Terry Swanson\, she handcrafted murals and signage to enhance the venue. Their working relationship eventually developed into a collaboration for this book. Stern holds a degree in fine art from the University of Wisconsin–River Falls and has continued her art education at Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) and at both Minnetonka and White Bear Centers for the Arts. In addition to illustration\, her main areas of interest are drawing\, painting\, and sculpture.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Tulsa Race Massacre
DESCRIPTION:The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre\nKarlos K. Hill\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nTuesday\, June 22\, 2021\, 7:00 pm\nNew registration link: Rescheduled Registration Link\nFor questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library \n\n\n\nJoin us for this very special History Revealed program with Karlos K. Hill\, author of the new book\, The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre: A Photographic History\, on the centennial of the event in Tulsa\, OK.  \nOn the evening of May 31\, 1921\, and in the early morning hours of June 1\, several thousand white citizens and authorities violently attacked the African American Greenwood District of Tulsa\, Oklahoma. In the course of some twelve hours of mob violence\, white Tulsans reduced one of the nation’s most prosperous black communities to rubble and killed an estimated 300 people\, mostly African Americans. This richly illustrated volume\, featuring more than 175 photographs\, along with oral testimonies\, shines a new spotlight on the race massacre from the vantage point of its victims and survivors. \nHistorian and Black Studies professor Karlos K. Hill presents a range of photographs taken before\, during\, and after the massacre\, mostly by white photographers. Some of the images are published here for the first time. Comparing these photographs to those taken elsewhere in the United States of lynchings\, the author makes a powerful case for terming the 1921 outbreak not a riot but a massacre. White civilians\, in many cases assisted or condoned by local and state law enforcement\, perpetuated a systematic and coordinated attack on Black Tulsans and their property. \nDespite all the violence and devastation\, black Tulsans rebuilt the Greenwood District brick by brick. By the mid-twentieth century\, Greenwood had reached a new zenith\, with nearly 250 Black-owned and Black-operated businesses. Today the citizens of Greenwood\, with support from the broader community\, continue to work diligently to revive the neighborhood once known as “Black Wall Street.” As a result\, Hill asserts\, the most important legacy of the Tulsa Race Massacre is the grit and resilience of the Black survivors of racist violence. \nThe 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre: A Photographic History offers a perspective largely missing from other accounts. At once captivating and disturbing\, it will embolden readers to confront the uncomfortable legacy of racial violence in U.S. history. \n \nKarlos K. Hill is Associate Professor and Chair of the Clara Luper Department of African and African American Studies at the University of Oklahoma and the author of Beyond the Rope: The Impact of Lynching on Black Culture and Memory.\nImage of Professor Hill from https://www.ou.edu/cas/afam/faculty-staff\n \n \nAn additional book for families and children grades 3-6\, Unspeakable: The Tulsa Race Massacre by Carole Boston Weatherford\, illustrated by Floyd Cooper\, is available from Lerner Publications at https://lernerbooks.com/shop/show/20776 \nTo purchase titles from the History Revealed series\, or other books of interest\, see our partner\, Subtext Books at https://subtextbooks.com/

Coleman was instrumental in changing the Minnesota legislative branch and its agenda to a more progressive and respected one\, and was also instrumental in passing many reforms\, including the “Minnesota Miracle\,” legislation that shifted the burden for public education from property taxes to a more progressive state income tax. The presentation will touch on Coleman’s work and accomplishments\, the many great leaders he worked with from both sides of the political line\, and his legacy to Minnesota\, the nation and his family. \nMilton is the author of For the Good of the Order\, Nick Coleman and the High Tide of Liberal Politics in Minnesota\, published by RCHS. Books will be available for purchase. \n \nJohn Watson Milton was born in St. Paul\, Minnesota. He graduated magna cum laude from Princeton and the Woodrow Wilson School; he also studied at the Harvard School of Business. At Princeton he was the editorial chairman of The Daily Princetonian. Milton has published a wide variety of written works\, including poetry\, essay\, recipes\, speeches and short stories. He has written numerous articles for Ramsey County History magazine\, and authored For the Good of the Order\, Nick Coleman and the High Tide of Liberal Politics in Minnesota\, published by RCHS. His biographical novel\, The Fallen Nightingale\, won two national awards for historical fiction. The author lives with his Panamanian-born wife\, Maureen Angélica Acosta\, on a small farm in Afton\, Minnesota\, where he writes and grows wine-grapes. \nAs a Princeton sophomore\, Milton received a piece of valuable advice from Nobel Laureate Ernest Hemingway\, who told him: “If you’re a writer\, you write. No matter what happened last night\, no matter how much you drank\, no matter whose bed you climbed out of in the morning\, you write. If you don’t\, you’re not a writer.” \nHistory Revealed Program Series\nPlease note that topics and speakers may change. Check the website and our Facebook page for updates.

Stephen will be available for questions\, and to sign books. \nOne hundred fifty years ago our state offered the first volunteers to defend the Union.

Osman served with the US Army Reserve in Psychological Operations at Fort Snelling\, and has served on the boards of the Minnesota Military Museum\, the Friends of Fort Snelling\, the Twin Cities Civil War Roundtable. \nPlease join RCHS and Stephen Osman on April 20 for this fascinating discussion and book signing.
