SUMMARY:History Revealed: Invisible Warriors
DESCRIPTION:Invisible Warriors: African American Women in World War II\nwith Gregory S. Cooke and Jeremiah Ellis\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, April 14\, 2022\n7:00 pm\nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library and the Roseville Library \nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting: Zoom Registration Link\nRegistration is limited. You will receive a confirmation email after registering.\nFor questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nInvisible Warriors: African American Women in World War II\, share the untold story of 600\,000 Black women – “Rosie the Riveters” – who worked in factories and government offices during WWII\, including here at the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP). Prior to the war\, nationally more than 80 percent of employed Black women were locked in life-stifling jobs as sharecroppers and domestics\, according to Invisible Warriors creator and World War II historian\, Gregory S. Cooke.  After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor\, many women quit their jobs as domestics. \nJeremiah Ellis will talk about some of the women who worked at TCAAP\, and Greogory Cooke will share the making of his film\,  Invisible Warriors: African American Women in World War II in a brief discussion. After the discussion\, attendees are invited to view a special screen of the entire film of Invisible Warriors\, about 60 minutes long. \nThe film Invisible Warriors shares the stories of women in the Philadelphia area who became “Black Rosies.” One of the women featured in the film\, Ruth Wilson\, left her job as a domestic and received training at Bok Technical High School before working as a sheet metal specialist at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Wilson helped build the aircraft carrier\, USS Valley Forge.  For Wilson\, the job paid significantly more\, but it was also about patriotism\, helping her country win the war. “I did something to help the cause\, and I was doing something to help the boys. It just made me feel special.”  “Wilson’s resilience and determination typified the spirit of Black Rosies as they sought brighter futures for themselves and family members in a country dominated by systemic racism and gender discrimination\,” according to Cooke. \nThe Invisible Warriors: African American Women in World War II screening is sponsored by the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota. \n \nThe Ramsey County Historical Society\, in partnership with the East Side Freedom Library\, the Ramsey County Roseville Library and other community organizations\, will present a series of programs and events during 2022 that will center on the experiences of indigenous people\, African Americans\, and immigrants in Ramsey County from the 1800s through the current day\, Making Minnesota: Natives\, Settlers\, Migrants\, and Immigrants. These programs focus on the too often lost\, erased\, forgotten or misrepresented histories and stories of Ramsey County and the state of Minnesota. We expect these presentations to enrich and complicate our understanding of the development of the county and the state that we call home.

Here James Beard Award–winning author Beth Dooley provides the context of food’s origins\, along with delicious recipes\, nutrition information\, and tips for smart sourcing. \nMore than a farm-to-table cookbook\, The Perennial Kitchen expands the definition of “local food” to embrace regenerative agriculture\, the method of growing small and large crops with ecological services. These farming methods\, grounded in a land ethic\, remediate the environmental damage caused by the monocropping of corn and soybeans. In this thoughtful collection the home cook will find both recipes and insights into artisan grains\, nuts\, fruits\, and vegetables that are delicious and healthy—and also help retain topsoil\, sequester carbon\, and return nutrients to the soil. Here are crops that enhance our soil\, nurture pollinators and song birds\, rebuild rural economies\, protect our water\, and grow plentifully without toxic chemicals. These ingredients are as good for the planet as they are on our plates. \nDooley explains how to stock the pantry with artisan grains\, heritage dry beans\, fresh flour\, healthy oils\, and natural sweeteners. She offers pointers on working with grass-fed beef and pastured pork and describes how to turn leftovers into tempting soups and stews. She makes the most of each season’s bounty\, from fresh garlic scape pesto to roasted root vegetable hummus. Here we learn how best to use nature’s “fast foods\,” the quick-cooking egg and ever-reliable chicken; how to work with alternative flours\, as in gingerbread with rye or focaccia with Kernza®; and how to make plant-forward\, nutritious vegan and vegetarian fare. Among other sweet pleasures\, Dooley shares the closely held secret recipe from the University of Minnesota’s student association for the best apple pie. Woven throughout the recipes is the most recent research on nutrition\, along with a guide to sources and information that cuts through the noise and confusion of today’s food labels and trends. \nBeth Dooley looks back into ingredients’ healthy beginnings and forward to the healthy future they promise. At the center of it all is the cook\, linking into the regenerative and resilient food chain with every carefully sourced\, thoughtfully prepared\, and delectable dish. \nBeth Dooley is author or coauthor of several cookbooks\, including Savoring the Seasons of the Northern Heartland\, The Northern Heartland Kitchen\, Minnesota’s Bounty\, The Birchwood Cafe Cookbook\, Savory Sweet: Simple Preserves from a Northern Kitchen\, Sweet Nature: A Cook’s Guide to Using Honey and Maple Syrup\, and The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen (Best American Cookbook\, James Beard Award\, 2018)\, all from Minnesota. In Winter’s Kitchen is her memoir about finding her place in the Midwestern food scene. She lives in Minneapolis. \nMette Nielsen’s photographs have illustrated numerous books\, newspapers\, and magazines. A talented master gardener\, she created the edible garden for the Birchwood Cafe in Minneapolis\, collaborated on The Birchwood Cafe Cookbook and Minnesota’s Bounty\, and was a coauthor of Savory Sweet and Sweet Nature. \n\n  \n

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/

Despite that\, they proceeded as planned. \nAuthors Ryan T. Hurt and Paul Nelson\, will share the story of Dr. Malchow\, Olly Burton and the aftermath of their publication. \nFor a PDF of their article in Ramsey County History magazine\, “A Doctor Ahead of His Time and the Trouble that Followed: The Sexual Life by Charles W.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: The Sinking Middle Class
DESCRIPTION:The Sinking Middle Class\nA conversation with historian David Roediger\nHistory Revealed Series\nFebruary 11\, 2021\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nLive presentation on Zoom and streamed on Facebook\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nRegistration: Zoom Registration Page\nRegistration is limited. You will receive a confirmation email after registering.\nFor registration or other questions\, please email events@rchs.com \n“Middle class” is an ideologically shaped and deployed term in American culture and politics. Activist-scholar David Roediger makes clear in his pointed and persuasive polemic\, this obsession with the middle-class is relatively new in US politics. It began with the attempt to win back so-called “Reagan Democrats” by Bill Clinton and it was accompanied by a pandering to racism and a shying away from meaningful wealth redistribution that continues to this day. \nDrawing on rich traditions of radical social thought\, Roediger disavows the thinly sourced idea that the United States was\, for much of its history\, a “middle-class” nation and the still more indefensible position that it is one now. The increasing immiseration of large swathes of middle-income America\, only accelerated by the current pandemic\, nails a fallacy that is a major obstacle to progressives. \n \nDavid Roediger taught in the 1990s at the University of Minnesota and now teaches American Studies at the University of Kansas. His books include Seizing Freedom\, The Wages of Whiteness\, How Race Survived U.S. History\, and Towards the Abolition of Whiteness and Working toward Whiteness. His book The Production of Difference (with Elizabeth Esch) recently won the International Labor History Association Book Prize. He is past president of the American Studies Association and of the Working-Class Studies Association. \nProfessor Roediger will be joined in conversation by: \nAugust Nimtz\, Professor of Political Science and African American Studies at the University of Minnesota. August has been an activist in progressive movements in the Twin Cities (and beyond) since the 1970s with a particular emphasis on solidarity with the people of Cuba. \nKieran Knutson\, President of Communications Workers of America Local 7250 (Minnesota AT&T). Kieran has been a long time activist at the intersection of the racial justice and labor movements. \nMegan Brown\, Assistant Professor in the Masters in Advocacy and Political Leadership (MAPL) program at Metropolitan State University. A geographer by training and trade\, Megan has recently found her way to St. Paul. \nTo purchase titles from the History Revealed series\, or other books of interest\, see our partner\, Subtext Books at https://subtextbooks.com/

You will receive a confirmation email after registering.\nFor registration or other questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nDr. Joe W. Trotter\, Jr. Giant Eagle Professor of History at Carnegie Mellon University\, will discuss his book with moderator Dr. William Jones\, Professor of History at the University of Minnesota \nThis event is co-sponsored by the University of Minnesota History Department\, the Labor and Working Class History Association\, the Ramsey County Historical Society\, and the East Side Freedom Library\, and it serves as a fundraiser for the East Side Freedom Library. It is part of two on-going series: the University of Minnesota History Department’s History Book Club and the “History Revealed” series co-sponsored by the Ramsey County Historical Society and the East Side Freedom Library. \nSince earning his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota in 1980\, Dr. Trotter had had an enormous impact on the fields of African American and labor history. His books include Black Milwaukee: The Making of an Industrial Proletariat  (1985); Coal Class and Color: Blacks in Southern West Virginia\, 1915-1932 (1990); The Great Migration in Historical Perspective (1991); and several collections of essays and documents\, which have been central to the teaching of these fields. Workers On Arrival: Black Labor in the Making of America  (2019) weaves Dr. Trotter’s research and writings into a single narrative which makes a compelling case for understanding the place of African Americans in U.S. history as producers\, as labor. \nFor this evening’s program\, Dr. Trotter will be engaged in conversation with another prominent historian of African American workers\, William P. Jones. A professor of history at the University of Minnesota and president of the Labor and Working Class History Association\, Dr. Jones is author of two award-winning books\, The Tribe of Black Ulysses: African American Lumber Workers in the Jim Crow South (2005) and The March on Washington: Jobs\, Freedom\, and the Forgotten History of Civil Rights (2013).

SUMMARY:Courthouse Art Project Update & Input Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join RCHS\, artists\, and community members for an update and input meeting at the East Side Freedom Library to discuss the art project for the Ramsey County Courthouse/Saint Paul City Hall Council Chambers. \nWe are in the midst of a period in which historical monuments\, markers\, and murals have become focal points of community discussions across the country. These conversations have come to the fore in Saint Paul\, and the City and County governments requested that RCHS lead an effort to add new artwork to the Council Chambers of the Saint Paul City Hall – Ramsey County Courthouse. The goals for this project include commissioning new\, original artwork that interprets the same overarching themes in the 83-year-old murals currently on display in the Council Chambers—celebrating the people and progress of Saint Paul and Ramsey County. \nFour new pieces of art are being commissioned\, with two new pieces displayed concurrently with original murals in the Council Chambers for a period of several months. The city and county will determine a rotation schedule that will ensure that each of the original murals and new pieces is exhibited over the course of a year. Interpretive panels will be added that provide additional context about the existing murals as well as each of the new pieces. Through an open application process\, twenty artists submitted proposals\, and a citizens’ task force organized by RCHS selected four artists for these projects. We invite you to meet them\, learn about their work\, and express your own perspectives about what you would like to see on the walls. Please come and share your ideas. \nOver the next five months RCHS and the Task Force will develop interpretive panels and create online materials that provide more information on the existing and new art. Additional materials will be provided that articulate the wide variety of perspectives on the existing artwork and generally how discriminatory\, controversial\, or otherwise problematic public art from the past is addressed today. As this discussion continues to unfold here and around the country\, there is value in recognizing and presenting these varied perspectives. \nFor bios of the selected artists\, and more information on the project\, see https://www.rchs.com/news/courthouse_chamber_artists/ \nFree and open to all. \n
