Animated segments bring the personal stories of Farmer-Labor men and women to life\, while songs from the period convey the spirit of the movement. \nWhile the movement’s ideas and achievements still affect Minnesota’s political and social fabric\, its history is largely unknown. The documentary addresses that awareness gap and points out how Farmer-Labor goals and the challenges still resonate today. \nPlease join filmmakers Randy Croce\, Tom O’Connell\, and Anna Kuharjec for a conversation after the screening. \nRandy Croce has been a documentary photographer and video producer since 1976. His PBS broadcast shows include Clouded Land\, If Stone Could Speak and Who built Our Capitol? He worked at the U of M Labor Education Service\, where he produced shows with workers and their unions. \nTom O’Connell is a retired professor of Political Studies from Metropolitan State University and served as founding chairperson of ESFL’s Board of Directors. He has taught and written about social movements with a special focus on MInnesota’s Farmer-Labor and Progressive Populist History. \nAnna Kuharjec has a Ph.D. in History from the University of Illinois and is teaching in the History program of the Dougherty Family College of the University of St. Thomas. \nFree and open to all. \n\nThis presentation is part of our 2022 series “Making Minnesota: Natives\, Settlers\, Migrants\, and Immigrants.” \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\, programs which 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.

DESCRIPTION:Vikings in the Attic: In Search of Nordic America\nwith Eric Dregni\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, October 20\, 2022\, 7:00 pm\nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library & Roseville Library\nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting\, register on Zoom here. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nFor questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nGrowing up with Swedish and Norwegian grandparents with a dash of Danish thrown in for balance\, Eric Dregni thought Scandinavians were perfectly normal. Who doesn’t enjoy a good\, healthy salad (Jell-O packed with canned fruit\, colored marshmallows\, pretzels\, and even olives) or perhaps some cod soaked in drain cleaner as the highlights of Christmas? In Vikings in the Attic\, Dregni tracks down and explores the significant—and quite often bizarre—historic sites\, tales\, and traditions of Scandinavia’s peculiar colony in the Midwest. It’s a legacy of the unique—shots of turpentine for the common cold—but also one of poor immigrants living in sod houses while their children attend college\, the birth of the co-op movement\, and government agents spying on Scandinavian meetings hoping to nab a socialist or antiwar activist. \n \nEric Dregni is the author of 20 books including Vikings in the Attic\, Weird Minnesota\, Never Trust a Thin Cook\, Let’s Go Fishing!\, For the Love of Cod\, and Impossible Road Trip. He wrote about his 15-year experience running one of the Concordia Language Villages in You’re Sending Me Where? Dispatches from Summer Camp. As a Fulbright fellow to Norway\, he survived a dinner of rakfisk (fermented fish) thanks to 80-proof aquavit\, took the “meat bus” to Sweden for cheap salami with a busload of knitting pensioners\, and compiled the stories in In Cod We Trust: Living the Norwegian Dream. \nHe is Professor of English\, Journalism\, & Italian at Concordia St. Paul and\, in the summer\, dean of the Italian Concordia Language Village\, Lago del Bosco. He lives in Minneapolis with his wife and three kids. \nMaking Minnesota: Natives\, Settlers\, Migrants\, and Immigrants\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. programs which focus on the too often lost\, erased\, forgotten or misrepresented histories and stories of Ramsey County and the state of Minnesota.

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk
DESCRIPTION:Bob Brown Exhibition Gallery Talk\nPaul Nelson\nTuesday\, September 13\, noon-1:00 pm\nLandmark Center North Gallery\nFree and open to all. \nRamsey County Historical Society\, in partnership with Landmark Center\, premieres an exhibition featuring local artist Robert Brown (1893-1954) in the North Gallery.  While there are few known details of Brown’s life\, we do know he studied briefly in Europe and New York City before settling in St. Paul\, where he worked as an artist in the 1930s and ’40s. He painted\, mostly watercolors\, in the regionalist style promoted by the Federal Art Project (FAP).  The FAP provided work and a basic income to a few thousand American artists and artisans during the Great Depression. Most of Brown’s known works are St. Paul urban scenes and landscapes. \nAdditional free programming includes a gallery talk with local historian\, Paul Nelson\, who wrote a retrospective of Brown and discovered images of many artworks that have not been seen in nearly 100 years.  Paul Nelson will talk at noon – 1pm on Tuesday\, September 13 in the North Gallery.  Time is allowed to view the artwork on display and ask questions. \nLook for the article “Bob Brown: Paint What You See” in the upcoming Summer 2022 issue of Ramsey County History magazine. \nThe exhibition is free and open to the public during public Landmark Center hours August 7th through September 25th.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Black\, Brown & Red Power
DESCRIPTION:Black\, Brown and Red Power in the Twin Cities: Parallels\, Intersections and Self-Determination in a Liberal Haven\nDr. Jimmy Patino\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, August 18\, 2022\, 7:00 pm\nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library & Roseville Library\nLive presentation on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this meeting\, register on Zoom here. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nFor questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nThe Twin Cities evolved in a unique and dynamic historical conjuncture in the long 1960s as a site in which African American\, American Indian and Mexican American communities were concentrated in an otherwise overwhelmingly white state. The emergence of Black Power\, the American Indian Movement\, and the Chicano Movement parallel and overlapping in a shared urban site speaks to the socio-political context of racialized injustice within a labor friendly and liberal progressive state. This presentation explores the direct and indirect overlap of these constituent communities’ struggles against police violence\, inter-residential violence related to concentrated poverty\, and physical and cultural displacement. These dynamic movements built infrastructure to confront these shared forms of repression\, but through their particular racialized communities: The Way organization in the Black community\, Centro Cultural Chicano in the Mexican community\, and in several independent schools in the American Indian community. These institutions—also evident in the emergence of the Black Patrol\, the AIM Patrol and the Brown Berets in addressing police violence—emerged independently to address the overlapping racial capitalist context and highlighting its differential articulation. However\, there were points of convergence and direct interaction\, culminating in the struggle for ethnic studies at the University of Minnesota\, among others. \n \nJimmy Patiño is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chicano & Latino Studies at the University of Minnesota.  His book Raza Sí\, Migra No: Chicano Movement Struggles for Immigrant Rights in San Diego was published in 2017. He has also written on Mexican American desegregation\, African American and Latina/o/x critical thought in hip-hop culture\, and is currently writing on ideas about solidarity and anti-capitalist thought across Black\, Brown and Red Power Movements.
