Trained at the Minneapolis College of Physicians and Surgeons and in Europe\, the young doctor believed it was important for readers\, particularly women\, to better understand sexual relationships as healthy and normal. He partnered with publisher Olly Burton. Together\, they ran their work by test audiences. They even contacted the postal authorities to make sure they could send promotional materials and the book itself through the mail. They were reminded by one postal official of the Comstock Law. 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. Malchow\,” see the link here. \nRyan T. Hurt is a physician and professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester\, MN. Born in Rochester\, he attended Hamline University as an undergraduate.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Clara Anderson
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nClara Anderson: A Woman’s Fight to Save Her Job in the Face of Discrimination\nJohn Guthmann\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nApril 15\, 2021\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nRegister Here\n \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nThe presentation will be recorded.\nFor registration or other questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nIn partnership with the Roseville Library \n“Bartenders Wanted: Women Need Not Apply.” In the early 1940s\, Clara Anderson worked as a bartender at a local hotel until the St. Paul City Council enacted an ordinance barring women from working behind the bar once men returned from World War II. Rather than lose her job to a man\, Anderson went to court. Her battle lasted three years and involved one tenacious lawyer and nine judges along the way. Ramsey County Chief Judge John Guthmann accidentally discovered this long-forgotten case when conducting research for a judicial portrait dedication at the Ramsey County Law Library. Intrigued\, he wanted to learn more about this feisty woman. Using court records\, family stories and photographs\, and newspaper accounts\, Guthmann brings Anderson’s story and her fight against discrimination to life.\n \nJohn H. Guthmann is a former Chief Judge of Minnesota’s Second Judicial District and a member of the Ramsey County Board of Directors. He graduated from Cornell College in Mount Vernon\, Iowa\, with a double major in history and political science\, and received his JD from William Mitchell College of Law. After clerking for Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Robert Sheran\, he spent twenty-seven years in private practice until his appointment to the bench in 2008. \nImage: Clara Anderson\, sometime between 1941-1943\, when she was about 33-35 years old and working as a bartender at the Frederic Hotel during the war years.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Booth Girls
DESCRIPTION:Booth Girls: Pregnancy\, Adoption\, and the Secrets We Kept\nKim Heikkila\, PhD\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nApril 8\, 2021\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting: Registration Link\nRegistration is limited. You will receive a confirmation email after registering.\nFor registration or other questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library \nBooth Girls is a thoughtful\, multigenerational story of contested motherhood\, equal parts biography\, oral history\, history\, and memoir. \nKim Heikkila’s mother had a secret: in 1961\, two years before her marriage\, she became pregnant. After several months hidden in her parents’ attic bedroom\, she gave birth to a daughter at the Salvation Army’s Booth Memorial Hospital\, a home for unwed mothers in St. Paul\, and surrendered her for adoption. \nKim’s older sister reunited with her birth family in the 1990s. Kim’s mother wrote about these experiences\, but after she died\, Heikkila still had questions. Using careful research and sensitive interviews with other “Booth girls\,” she tells the stories of the Booth hospital and the women who passed through it—and she learned more about her own experience as an adoptive mother. \nKim Heikkila\, PhD\, is an independent scholar and president of Spotlight Oral History. She has also taught courses on US history\, US women’s history\, the Vietnam War\, and the 1960s at colleges and universities in the Twin Cities area. She is the author of Sisterhood of War: Minnesota Women in Vietnam. \nTo purchase titles from the History Revealed series\, or other books of interest\, see our partner\, Subtext Books at https://subtextbooks.com/

SUMMARY:History Revealed: The Fight for the Right to Vote
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nRedefining Citizenship: The Fight for the Right to Vote in Minnesota and the Midwest\nSara Egge\nHistory Revealed Series\nMarch 18\, 2021\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nRegister Here\n \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nThe presentation will be recorded.\nFor registration or other questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nIn partnership with the Roseville Library \n\nExamining how women won the right to vote in Minnesota and the Midwest reveals how Midwesterners changed their conceptions of citizenship in the early twentieth century. Women earned the ballot during World War I\, when demonstrating patriotism became an expected part of the war effort. Mobilizing for the war\, which so many midwestern suffragists did quite willingly\, served as a testament to their loyalty to both community and country. They also leveraged that mobilization against the alleged disloyalty of immigrants in the region whom they attacked as slackers. Suffragists claimed that exercising the right to vote was an expression of duty\, rather than just a natural right.\n\n\n\nSara Egge is the Claude D. Pottinger Professor of History at Centre College in Kentucky. She received her PhD from Iowa State University. She is the author of the award-winning book Woman Suffrage and Citizenship in the Midwest\, 1870-1920. She also serves as the President of the Midwestern History Association. Her research examines how the woman suffrage movement intersected with immigration and the nativist sentiments that accompanied its rise. She teaches courses on women’s and gender history as well as histories of citizenship\, food systems\, and environments in the US. She is originally from South Dakota.\nFor more about Woman Suffrage and Citizenship in the Midwest\, 1870-1920\, see this link.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Grace Holmes Carlson
DESCRIPTION:History Revealed: The Fierce Life of Grace Holmes Carlson\nA Conversation with Author Donna Haverty-Stacke\nand Greg Poferl\, Linda Leighton\, and Mary Wingerd\nHistory Revealed Series\nMarch 4\, 2021\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library \nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting: Register Here\nFor registration or other questions\, please email events@rchs.com\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nThe presentation will be recorded. \nOn December 8\, 1941\, Grace Holmes Carlson\, the only female defendant among eighteen Trotskyists convicted under the Smith Act\, was sentenced to sixteen months in federal prison for advocating the violent overthrow of the government. After serving a year in Alderson prison\, Carlson returned to her work as an organizer for the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) and ran for vice president of the United States under its banner in 1948. Then\, in 1952\, she abruptly left the SWP and returned to the Catholic Church. With the support of the Sisters of St. Joseph\, who had educated her as a child\, Carlson began a new life as a professor of psychology at St. Mary’s Junior College in Minneapolis where she advocated for social justice\, now as a Catholic Marxist. \nThe Fierce Life of Grace Holmes Carlson: Catholic\, Socialist\, Feminist is a historical biography that examines the story of this complicated woman in the context of her times with a specific focus on her experiences as a member of the working class\, as a Catholic\, and as a woman. Her story illuminates the workings of class identity within the context of various influences over the course of a lifespan. The long arc of Carlson’s life (1906–1992) ultimately reveals significant continuities in her political consciousness that transcended the shifts in her particular partisan commitments\, most notably her life-long dedication to challenging the root causes of social and economic inequality. In that struggle\, Carlson ultimately proved herself to be a truly fierce woman. \nDonna Haverty-Stacke\, Professor of History at Hunter College of the City University of New York\, is a historian of working-class and radical politics. She is interested in the intersection of that history with nationalism and collective memory\, national security and free speech\, gender identity\, and Catholic activism. Her first book was America’s Forgotten Holiday: May Day and Nationalism\,1867-1960 (NYU Press\, 2009) and her second\, which she discussed four years ago here at ESFL\, was Trotskyists on Trial: Free Speech and Political Persecution since the Age of FDR (NYU Press\, 2015). \nGreg Poferl is a lifelong labor and Catholic social activist and a generous collaborator at ESFL. Last year\, Greg wrote his memoir\, Turning Points: Never Give Up on Anyone\, Especially Yourself (East Side Freedom Library\, 2020). \nLinda Leighton is a lifelong labor activist who has played a major role in maintaining local memory of the 1934 Minneapolis Teamsters’ strikes. \nMary Wingerd is Emerita Professor of History at St. Could State University and the author of Claiming the City: Politics\, Faith\, and the Power of Place in St. Paul (Cornell University Press\, 2001) and North Country: The Making of Minnesota (Minnesota Historic al Society Press\, 2010). \nTo purchase titles from the History Revealed series\, or other books of interest\, see our partner\, Subtext Books at https://subtextbooks.com/

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Hope in the Struggle
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nHope in the Struggle\nDr. Josie Johnson\nHistory Revealed Series\nFebruary 23\, 2021\nTuesday\, 7:00 pm\nwith Tish Jones and Peter Rachleff \nand in partnership with the East Side Freedom Library \nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nRegister Here\n \nFor registration or other questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nThe presentation will be recorded. \nHope in the Struggle tells the story of how a Black woman from Texas became one of the most well-known civil rights activists in Minnesota\, detailing seven remarkable decades of fighting for fairness in voting\, housing\, education\, and employment. \nJosie Johnson will share her memoir about shouldering the cause of social justice during the darkest hours and brightest moments for civil rights in America\, and\, specifically\, in Minnesota. Hope in the Struggle shines light on the difference one person can make. For Josie Johnson\, this has meant making a difference as a Black woman in one of the nation’s whitest states. She will be joined by Peter Rachleff of the East Side Freedom Library. \nJosie’s story begins in a tight-knit community in Texas\, where the unfairness of the segregated South\, so antithetical to the values she learned at home\, sharpened a sense of justice that guides her to this day. From the age of fourteen\, when she went door to door with her father in Houston to campaign against the Poll Tax\, to the moment in 2008 when\, as a delegate at the Democratic National Convention\, she cast her vote for Barack Obama for president\, she has been at the forefront of the politics of civil rights. Her memoir offers a close-up picture of what that struggle has entailed\, whether working as a community organizer for the Minneapolis Urban League or lobbying for fair housing and employment laws\, investigating civil rights abuses or co-chairing the Minnesota delegation to the March on Washington\, becoming the first African American to serve on the University of Minnesota’s Board of Regents or creating the university’s Office of the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs with a focus on minority affairs and diversity. An intimate view of civil rights history in the making\, Hope in the Struggle is a uniquely inspiring life story for these current dark and divisive times\, a testament to how one determined soul can make the world a better place. \nBorn in 1930 in San Antonio\, Texas\, Josie R. Johnson has been an educator\, activist\, and public servant for more than seven decades. Along with her work for the Urban League and the University of Minnesota\, she has been office manager\, campaign manager\, and chief of staff for multiple political campaigns and public officials\, including campaign manager for the first African American lieutenant governor of Colorado\, and co-chair of the African American DFL Caucus in Minnesota. She holds degrees in sociology\, education\, and education administration. She lives in Minneapolis and continues to serve her community\, advocating for equal rights and social justice. \nTish Jones is the Founder & Executive Director of TruArtSpeaks. She is a poet\, organizer and educator from Saint Paul\, Minnesota and is currently serving as the Brave New Voices Leadership Fellow at Youth Speaks in San Francisco. She has performed at The Walker Art Center\, Intermedia Arts\, The Cedar Cultural Center and more. Her work can be found in the Minnesota Humanities Center’s upcoming anthology entitled\, Blues Vision: African American Writing from Minnesota (Minnesota Historical Society Press\, 2015)\, the 2011 and 2013 Saint Paul Almanac\, the Loft Literary Center’s Nation of Immigrants audio CD. \nTo purchase titles from the History Revealed series\, or other books of interest\, see our partner\, Subtext Books at https://subtextbooks.com/

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/

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Workers on Arrival
DESCRIPTION:Workers on Arrival: Black Labor in the Making of America\nDr. Joe Trotter\nWith Dr. William Jones\nHistory Revealed Series\nFebruary 10\, 2021\nWednesday\, 6:00-7:00 pm\nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nRegister Here\nRegistration is limited. 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.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Turnout
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nTurnout: Making Minnesota the State That Votes\nJoan Growe and Lori Sturdevant\nHistory Revealed Series\nDecember 3\, 2020\nThursday\, 7:00 pm\nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library \nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nRegister here on Zoom\n \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nThe presentation will be recorded.\nPlease note that registration emails will be shared to Ramsey County Historical Society and the East Side Freedom Library. If you do not wish to share your email\, contact events@rchs.com. \n\n\nIn Turnout\, the architect and chief promoter of Minnesota’s high voter turnout tells her story\, showing how hard work and cooperation made the state a leader in clean\, open elections. \nHigh voter turnout in Minnesota is no accident. It arose from the traditions of this state’s early Yankee and northern European immigrants\, and it has been sustained by wisely chosen election policies. Many of these policies were designed and implemented during the twenty-four-year tenure of Minnesota secretary of state Joan Anderson Growe. \nIn inspiring and often funny prose\, Growe recounts the events that framed her life and changed the state’s voting practices. She grew up in a household that never missed an election. After an astounding grassroots feminist campaign\, she was elected to the state legislature in 1972; two years later\, she was elected secretary of state\, the state’s chief elections administrator. As one of the nation’s leading advocates for reliable elections and convenient voting\, Growe worked with county officials to secure Election Day registration (used for the first time in 1974) as a Minnesota norm. She brought new technology into elections administration and promoted motor voter registration. And as an ardent feminist\, she has encouraged and inspired scores of other women to run for office. \nJoan Growe and co-author Lori Sturdevant will discuss the book and Ms. Growe’s time in office with a talk that is part political history and part memoir\, and a reminder to Minnesotans to cherish and protect their tradition of clean\, open elections. \n“No matter what issue you care about\, the right to vote is central. And the fight to protect that fundamental right is the single greatest fight of our time. That’s why we need a twenty-first-century civil rights movement devoted to claiming\, enforcing\, and defending the right to vote. Joan Anderson Growe has given us an excellent guide for that work.”\nfrom the Foreword by Hillary Rodham Clinton \n\n\nAbout the Authors: \n\n\n\nJoan Anderson Growe served as Minnesota’s secretary of state from 1975 to 1999. Widely known as an expert on voting and elections\, she has served as an official election observer in various foreign elections.\n\n\n \nLori Sturdevant\, a retired Star Tribune editorial writer\, is the author of several books of Minnesota history\, including Her Honor: Rosalie Wahl and the Minnesota Women’s Movement.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Democracy in MN During WWI
DESCRIPTION:Ramsey County Historical Society Presents\nDemocracy on Hold: Minnesota during the Great War\nGreg Gaut\nHistory Revealed Series\nNovember 11\, 2020\nWednesday\, 7:00 pm\nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library \nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nRegister here on Zoom\n \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nThe presentation will be recorded.\nPlease note that registration emails will be shared to Ramsey County Historical Society and the East Side Freedom Library. If you do not wish to share your email\, contact events@rchs.com. \nWhen thousands of Minnesotans went to Europe to “make the world safe for democracy” in WW I\, the legislature created the Minnesota Commission of Public Safety to govern the state for the duration of the war.  Led by John McGee\, a conservative lawyer\, it crushed any form of dissent\, labor organizing\, or German cultural expression. McGee organized the Home Guard as the commission’s main enforcement arm.  Composed of volunteers primarily from the business community\, Home Guard units helped defeat a Twin Cities transit workers strike\, conducted mass arrests of young men to check draft status (“slacker raids”)\, and physically harassed the campaign of Charles Lindbergh\, Sr\, the Nonpartisan League’s candidate for governor in 1918. Minnesota’s home front experience reminds us how easily “America first” patriotism can evolve into a dangerous\, intolerant nationalism\, how fragile civil liberties and the rule of law are in periods of great polarization\, and how tempting it can be for politicians to stir up hostility toward immigrants. \nGreg Gaut is emeritus faculty at Saint Mary’s University in Winona\, where he taught European and Russian history.  Since 2012\, he has worked as a historic preservation consultant\, preparing National Register of Historic Places nominations for buildings across the state from Worthington to Ely.  With his wife Marsha Neff\, he has contributed several articles to Minnesota History\, two of which won the Minnesota Society of Architectural Historians award for the best article on Minnesota’s built environment. A lover of libraries\, he has published Laird’s Legacy: A History of the Winona Public Library and Reinventing the People’s Library\, a history of the Arlington Hills Public Library\, now the East Side Freedom Library.  He is working on a book about the Minnesota home front during World War I. \nFeatured image: Black and white photograph of World War I soldiers from the Rainbow Division marching in a parade in downtown Saint Paul\, through an arch erected to commemorate those killed during the war.

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. He writes a local urban blog at Twin City Sidewalks and is a member of the Saint Paul Planning Commission. He is the author of Minneapolis-Saint Paul: Then and Now. \nAndy Sturdevant is an artist and writer living in Minneapolis. He has written about art\, history\, and culture for a variety of publications\, including City Pages\, Belt\, and Mpls.St.Paul. He currently writes a regular column for Architecture MN\, and for five years\, Andy wrote “The Stroll\,” a weekly column on Twin Cities neighborhoods\, art\, history\, and architecture in for MinnPost. He is the author of Potluck Supper with Meeting to Follow and Downtown: Minneapolis in the ’70s. \n

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Connemara Irish
DESCRIPTION:Connemara Irish: Despair in the Heartland\nJane Kennedy\nPremeire\, Thursday\, August 27\, 2020\, 7:00 PM\nPre-recorded\, will premiere on:\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/RamseyCountyHistoricalSociety/\nYoutube: https://youtu.be/jC1EBfN-s5M \nIn partnership with the Roseville Library \nWhen people living in the Connemara region of Western Ireland were offered assistance to escape from the ravages of famine and disease\, they knew little about their new homeland but believed they would find hope and happiness in America. Frail and hungry\, they traveled over 3\,700 miles to reach their destination\, a prairie that scarcely resembled their homeland. While trying to settle and begin earning a living\, within months they would encounter one of the worst Minnesota winters ever recorded. The Connemaras’ story\, similar to that of many other immigrants\, is one of despair\, struggle and ultimately perseverance. \nJane Kennedy lives in St. Paul\, MN. Her interest in exploring Irish famines is linked to her family’s emigration in the 1880s from County Mayo\, Ireland. She has a B.A. in English and Journalism from St. Catherine University and an M.A. in Business Communications from the University of St. Thomas. Kennedy obtained Irish citizenship in 2016 (dual citizenship) following two visits to her grandfather’s homeland in the Belmullet Peninsula\, Co. Mayo. \nImage: From “An Extra Supplement to the Illustrated London News\,” March 20\, 1880. The State of Ireland-Evicted: A Sketch on the Road in Connemara. By Our Special Artist.

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.)
