He is especially proud of the MHS library’s growth in the previously neglected area of Minnesota’s cultural history; fiction\, poetry\, fine press\, and artist’s books. \nColeman writes\, lectures\, Tweets and blogs on topics related to Minnesota’s culture and history. He served as the President of the Library of Congress’s Minnesota Center for the Book\, presided over the Minnesota Book Awards for several years. He has served on the boards of Coffee House Press and the Minnesota Center for Book Arts\, Friends of the University of Minnesota Library\, and the Minnesota Humanities Commission\, among others. Coleman received the Kay Sexton Award in 2009 for his contributions to Minnesota’s community of the book. Currently\, he serves as an Executive Leadership Fellow at the University of Minnesota’s Center for Integrative Leadership. \nHis current research focus concerns Sinclair Lewis and an upcoming exhibit at the Minnesota Historical Society to commemorate the 100 anniversary of the publication of Lewis’s Main Street. \nHis avocational interest include Irish literature (collecting one of few complete sets of the Cuala Press\, run by the sisters of W. B. Yeats\,) wilderness canoeing\, cross-country skiing\, and backpacking. He is a proud father and grandfather. \n\n\nFeatured image: Photo of Sinclair Lewis\, autographed to W. S. Leeds\, c. 1922.

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.)
