SUMMARY:History Revealed: Defying the Silence
DESCRIPTION:Defying the Silence: A Chronicle of Resilience that Saved the World-Renowned Minnesota Orchestra\nJulie Ayer\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, November 30\, 2023\, 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. For questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nIn this extraordinary example of how to unionize in the arts\, Julie Ayer reveals how some of the world’s finest musicians went from sitting in the Minnesota Orchestra to standing in the picket line . . . and how their city rallied around them.  The lockout that began on October 1\, 2012\, became the longest and most infamous work stoppage in American orchestral labor history.  What came to pass was a struggle for the very identity of an orchestra that had been at the heart of the Minnesota arts scene since it was founded in 1903. But the musicians didn’t feel despair–they felt defiance. And Twin Cities music lovers were ready to defend the orchestra alongside them. \nWith thirty-six years as a violinist in the Minnesota Orchestra\, Julie Ayer is the perfect voice to chronicle this powerful book about Minnesota history. She pairs firsthand accounts from personal connections with meticulous research and an intimate understanding of the institution itself. \nIn the face of adversity\, the musicians of the Minnesota Orchestra did what they do best–they defied the silence and brought the music back. \n \nJulie Ayer is a professional violinist\, arts advocate\, historian\, and author. A passionate lifelong musician\, she spent her thirty-six-year professional career in the Minnesota Orchestra\, including their ground-breaking tour to Cuba in 2015. Julie also was a member of the Houston Symphony\, Santa Fe Opera Orchestra\, and Sydney Symphony Orchestra. \nThroughout her career\, Ayer was involved in many orchestra committees\, including labor negotiations. Today\, Ayer is a member of Classica Chamber Players and plays regularly in the Twin Cities. She has presented workshops and spoken to a variety of groups\, including labor lawyers\, music students\, and colleagues. Julie has a master’s degree in music and is a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. Her first book\, More Than Meets the Ear: How Symphony Musicians Made Labor History\, was reviewed in publications including the Boston Globe\, Star Tribune\, and International Musician.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Prairie Imperialists
DESCRIPTION:Prairie Imperialists: The Indian Country Origins of American Empire\nKatherine Bjork\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, October 19\, 2023\, 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. For questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nThe Spanish-American War marked the emergence of the United States as an imperial power. It was when the United States first landed troops overseas and established governments of occupation in the Philippines\, Cuba\, and other formerly Spanish colonies. But such actions to extend U.S. sovereignty abroad\, argues Katharine Bjork\, had a precedent in earlier relations with Native nations at home. In Prairie Imperialists\, Bjork traces the arc of American expansion by showing how the Army’s conquests of what its soldiers called “Indian Country” generated a repertoire of actions and understandings that structured encounters with the racial others of America’s new island territories following the War of 1898. \nPrairie Imperialists follows the colonial careers of three Army officers from the domestic frontier to overseas posts in Cuba and the Philippines. The men profiled—Hugh Lenox Scott\, Robert Lee Bullard\, and John J. Pershing—internalized ways of behaving in Indian Country that shaped their approach to later colonial appointments abroad. Scott’s ethnographic knowledge and experience with Native Americans were valorized as an asset for colonial service; Bullard and Pershing\, who had commanded African American troops\, were regarded as particularly suited for roles in the pacification and administration of colonial peoples overseas. After returning to the mainland\, these three men played prominent roles in the “Punitive Expedition” President Woodrow Wilson sent across the southern border in 1916\, during which Mexico figured as the next iteration of “Indian Country.” \nWith rich biographical detail and ambitious historical scope\, Prairie Imperialists makes fundamental connections between American colonialism and the racial dimensions of domestic political and social life—during peacetime and while at war. Ultimately\, Bjork contends\, the concept of “Indian Country” has served as the guiding force of American imperial expansion and nation building for the past two and a half centuries and endures to this day. \nKatharine Bjork is Professor of History at Hamline University and author of In the Circle of Dance: Notes of an Outsider in Nepal. \nPlease check out our partner Subtext Books\, located in downtown St. Paul and online at: https://subtextbooks.com/ for this and other History Revealed titles.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Connecting to Collections- Preservation for Who? 
DESCRIPTION:Connecting to Collections: Preservation for Who?   \nChris Rico\, Nienow Cultural Consultants \nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, September 21\, 2023\n7:00 pm \nIn partnership with the East Side Freedom Library and Ramsey County Libraries-Roseville \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 \nJoin Public Historian\, Archaeologist\, and Conservator\, Christopher Rico (M.HSPH) for a focused discussion on the topic of representation and access in museum collections and how to care for and preserve your personal collections like a museum conservator. In this program\, Christopher will talk about some of the social and cultural issues connected to collecting institutes\, how these issues effect different communities\, and how it has led to the growth of grassroots community preservation initiatives and a growing need for the sharing of resources and knowledge in preservation techniques. \nMany museums and collecting institutions task themselves with adding to and maintaining their collections of 3-D objects\, books\, paper files\, and the digital and physical archives which accompany them. This task is often made a central pillar of a collecting institution’s mission as it is held that through this process\, knowledges may be preserved\, access to them expanded\, and through interpretation new understandings created. However\, being that this practice is historically rooted to empire and colonialism\, there is an undeniable effect on the way in which this mission has been conducted. Furthermore\, additional factors within institutions affect how collections are managed and what is deemed worthy of collection. Among other effects\, this results in the exclusion of certain communities within collections\, barriers to access\, and questions about the accuracy of knowledge provided by collections and their interpretation. In response to these issues\, the practices of community archiving and grassroots preservation have grown exponentially in recent decades\, creating a need for access to complex resources and knowledges often held by or provided exclusively to collecting institutions. \nChris Rico has a robust and diverse field of experience in heritage studies spanning over the last six years. He obtained his master’s degree at the University of Minnesota in Heritage Studies and Public History and has been working in various community development positions since. His breadth of experience includes extensive archival use\, processing\, and research experience\, community driven and engaged public history projects\, oral histories\, and preservation and special collections management.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Scandinavian Immigrants & the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:For Gud Og Vort Land:\nScandinavian Immigrants & the Civil War\nSaturday\, July 22\, 9:00 am-1:00 pm\nNorway House\n913 E Franklin Ave\, Minneapolis\, MN 55404 \nJoin us for a very special History Revealed as we explore the contributions of Scandinavian immigrants from Minnesota and Wisconsin during the Civil War. The motto of the Fifteenth Wisconsin Regiment\, “For Gud Og Vort Land\,” (For God and Our Country)\, serves as the thread for this day of programming. Beginning with a tour of the Pioneer & Soldiers Cemetery led by Susan Hunter\, the the day continues with the story of the Fifteenth Wisconsin\, known as the “Norwegian Regiment.” The life and contributions of Colonel Hans Christian Heg and other Scandinavian soldiers from Minnesota and Wisconsin will be told by Odd Lovoll\, author of Colonel Hans Christian Heg and the Norwegian American Experience. \nSchedule\n9:00-10:00 am \n\nTour the Pioneer & Soldiers Cemetery with Susan Hunter\nPark at the Cemetery\, 2945 Cedar Ave\, Minneapolis\, MN 55407\nCost for the tour is $5.00\nPre-registration is preferred\nTickets are available at the Norway House website\n\n11:00 am-1:00 pm \n\nColonel Hans Christian Heg and the Norwegian American Experience with Odd Lovoll\nBook signing and discussion\nProgram will take place at Norway House\nFree and open to the public\, no registration required\nThe book will be available for purchase\nSee the Norway House website for more\n\nSusan Hunter is the founding member of the Friends of the Pioneer & Soldiers Cemetery. She is a historian and author of many articles about the cemetery. \nColonel Hans Christian Heg and the Norwegian American Experience is the first full-length biography of Colonel Heg examines the life of a Civil War hero while illuminating the experiences of Norwegian American immigrants who found both hardship and success in a new home. \nHans Christian Heg (1829–1863) was a Norwegian American abolitionist\, journalist\, antislavery activist\, prison reformer\, politician\, and soldier. Best known for leading the Fifteenth Wisconsin Volunteer Regiment on the Union side during the Civil War\, Heg died of wounds received at the Battle of Chickamauga in September 1863. \nWhile Heg’s achievements earned him a statue on the Wisconsin state capitol grounds\, behind his public persona was a life emblematic of his generation. Heg’s family hailed from Lier\, Norway; economic as well as religious challenges led them\, like so many others\, to leave their homeland for the promise of a better life. Heg himself trod multiple paths: joining in the California Gold Rush\, pursuing a political career in support of the Free Soil Party and then the newly formed Republican Party\, and taking up the role of Wisconsin state prison commissioner. Like his fellow immigrants\, he made a living and nurtured a family at the same time that he was defining what it meant to be both Norwegian and American. \nHeg’s remarkable leadership of the Fifteenth Wisconsin\, the “Norwegian regiment\,” is the stuff of legends. But this book is more than a biography of one man: it is the story of a generation of immigrant citizens who contributed politically\, economically\, and socially to the American Midwest and beyond. \nOdd S. Lovoll is the author of several books on the Norwegian American immigrant experience\, including Norwegians on the Prairie\, Norwegian Newspapers in America\, and Across the Deep Blue Sea. He was born in Sande\, in Møre og Romsdal\, Norway\, and immigrated to the United States in 1946. Lovoll was educated at the University of Bergen and the University of Oslo before receiving an M.A. from the University of North Dakota and a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota. He taught for three years at Minnesota and then spent 30 years as a professor of history at St. Olaf College in Northfield\, Minnesota\, where he is professor emeritus. Lovoll also served for 20 years as publication editor for the Norwegian-American Historical Association. In 1986\, Lovoll was decorated with the Knight’s Cross First Class of the Royal Norwegian Order of Merit by King Olav V of Norway\, and in 2001 he was inducted into the Scandinavian Hall of Fame at Norsk Høstfest\, North America’s largest Scandinavian festival. He lives in Northfield\, Minnesota.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Italians on St. Paul's East Side
DESCRIPTION:Italians on Saint Paul’s East Side\nJohn Andreozzi\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, July 20\, 2023\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. For questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nItalians have had a significant presence in St. Paul.  Although there were only a few as the City began to grow in the 1850s\, within five decades their numbers had grown substantially. Many settled in Railroad Island and Swede Hollow on the East Side. They had been farmers in Italy\, but in St. Paul they worked on the railroads that surrounded their neighborhood\, as well as the city’s public works department\, while some were self- employed as peddlers or operators of confectionery and grocery stores. \n\nSt. Paul Italians founded institutions in Railroad Island that offered protection from bigotry and facilitated the assimilation process. The Dante Alighieri society formed in 1883\, was the first Italian group in the state. The Christ Child Center\, a Catholic settlement house which offered a variety of programs\, was located in a building erected by Italians. East Side Italians established Saint Ambrose church in 1915\, and they became known for their processions honoring patron saints. \nJohn Andreozzi was born in Lackawanna\, NY\, and has worked as a teacher\, clinical social worker\, community organizer\, and ethnic historian.  He has been studying Italian American history for more than fifty years\, and he holds Master’s Degrees in Sociology and Social Work. In 1985\, he moved to the Twin Cities to work at the Immigration History Research Center and Archives.\, and he became an organizer of Festa Italiana MN.  John has written two books and several scholarly articles on the experiences of Italians in the United States\, and he maintains a website at Italian-American-Experience.org. \nHis presentation is part of our 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.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Nature's Crossroads
DESCRIPTION:Nature’s Crossroads: The Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota:\nA Wide-Ranging Environmental and Historical Study of the Evolution of the Minneapolis–Saint Paul Area\nWith George Vrtis and Christopher W. Wells \nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, June 22\, 2023\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 \nThe industrial and commercial development of the Twin Cities transformed the landscape\, dispossessed the original Native inhabitants\, and had consequences which reached far beyond the geographic borders of the Metro Area.  Join Chris Wells and George Vrtis as they describe the environmental history of our region.  \nMinnesota’s Twin Cities have long been powerful engines of change. From their origins in the early nineteenth century\, the Twin Cities helped drive the dispossession of the region’s Native American peoples\, turned their riverfronts into bustling industrial and commercial centers\, spread streets and homes outward to the horizon\, and reached well beyond their urban confines\, setting in motion the environmental transformation of distant hinterlands. As these processes unfolded\, residents inscribed their culture into the landscape\, complete with all its tensions\, disagreements\, contradictions\, prejudices\, and social inequalities. These stories lie at the heart of Nature’s Crossroads. The book features an interdisciplinary team of distinguished scholars who aim to open new conversations about the environmental history of the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota. \nAbout the Editors \nGeorge Vrtis is an environmental historian and professor of history and environmental studies at Carleton College. He is the coeditor of Mining North America: An Environmental History since 1522. His research interests include mining and resource use\, urban environments\, and protected areas and wilderness. \nChristopher W. Wells is an environmental historian and professor of environmental studies at Macalester College. His is the author of Car Country: An Environmental History and Environmental Justice in Postwar America: A Documentary Reader. His research focuses on the ways that technology—and especially technological systems—have reshaped the American environment\, mediating and structuring people’s relationships with the natural world. \nFor more\, see:\nhttps://www.duluthnewstribune.com/sports/northland-outdoors/new-book-explores-minnesotas-environmental-history\nhttps://minnesotareformer.com/2023/03/08/book-excerpt-twin-cities-grew-thanks-to-dakota-ojibwe-land-connections-to-national-markets/

SUMMARY:ERA Celebration & Commemorative Plaque Unveiling
DESCRIPTION:Celebration & Plaque Unveiling: Honoring WWII Codebreakers and the Founding of Engineering Research Associates\nThursday\, June 15\, 2023\n3:30-5:30 pm\n1902 Minnehaha Avenue West\, St. Paul\, MN 55104 \nParking for the plaque unveiling is available at the site. \nFeatured speakers include: \n\nLowell Benson\, VIP Club\nRemarks from Norb Berg\, Control Data\, read by James McGuire\, former Vice President at Control Data\nDean Laurance\, Sperry Rand\nDon Hall\, Historian and author\nChad Roberts\, President & CEO of RCHS\nJohn Rollwagen\, CEO at Cray Research\nManny Villafaña\, Cardiac Pacemakers\, etc.\n\nIn a salute to a remarkably powerful era of entrepreneurism\, the Ramsey County Historical Society (RCHS) is celebrating the enduring economic and technological activity unleashed in the Twin Cities by Engineering Research Associates (ERA) more than 75 years ago. A commemorative plaque was installed at the company’s original site\, 1902 Minnehaha Avenue West in St. Paul\, on Thursday\, June 15\, 2023. \nERA was formed in 1946 by a group of U.S. Navy codebreakers who had been brought together to help the country and its allies win World War II. They were mathematicians\, physicists\, engineers\, and other specialists who interpreted German and Japanese electronic communications at a top-secret location in the Washington\, D.C. area. When the war ended\, the Secretary of the Navy wanted to keep them together because he saw the group as an important national resource. Getting funding proved difficult until John Parker\, a US Naval Academy (Annapolis) graduate working in corporate finance\, raised $220\,000. \nAlthough a Washington resident\, Parker was a director of St. Paul-based Northwest Airlines. He also owned a glider business at 1902 Minnehaha that was deactivated after the war. Parker moved the key employees from Washington to his empty factory in St. Paul. In doing so\, he established the Twin Cities as one of the cradles of the computer industry\, eventually making it the home for many thousands of jobs in more than 100 technology companies. \nA lineage of corporate growth emerged in 1952\, when Remington Rand bought and combined ERA and Eckert Mauchly Computer Corp. in Philadelphia to form Remington Rand UNIVAC (RRU). Four years later Sperry Corp. acquired Remington Rand and renamed the company as\nSperry Rand. Its various computer activities were consolidated into the Univac Division. In 1986\, Sperry and Burroughs Corp. merged to form Unisys\, which then operated at twenty-eight sites in the Twin Cities area. \nWilliam Norris was an early member of the codebreakers group and of ERA. In 1957\, he left RRU to found Control Data Corp.\, which became one of the world’s leading computer manufacturers and spawned dozens of spinoff companies. Seymour Cray\, an employee of ERA and later Control Data\, left Control Data in 1972 to form Cray Research\, a company that dominated the supercomputer market well into the 1980s. The successes of these companies inspired local engineers to apply their technical expertise to medical products and create dozens of medical\ndevice companies. \nBy the 1980s\, Control Data and Unisys each had more than 20\,000 employees in Minnesota. Today\, at least four Control Data descendants\, all in Bloomington\, remain in the region: Ceridian\, SkyWater Technology\, Polar Semiconductor\, and Seagate Technology Holdings. Unisys retains a service center in Eagan. \n“The plaque memorializes the ERA story\, serving as reminder of Minnesota’s place as an early founder of the region’s high-tech economy while also underscoring the importance of entrepreneurs to our community\,” said Chad Roberts\, president and CEO of RCHS. \nAmong the speakers at the event will be John Rollwagen\, who was CEO at Cray Research\, and Manny Manny Villafaña\, who left Medtronic to found Cardiac Pacemakers\, St. Jude Medical\, and a string of other medical technology firms. “It’s still true that individuals start companies from scratch and build them into big companies\,” Rollwagen said. “I still believe it can happen.” Villafana has founded and taken public seven medical technology companies and is now on his eighth startup. “We’re still the mecca of the med-tech industry\,” he said. \nThis is not the first time the Minnehaha Avenue site has earned a commemorative plaque. Lowell Benson has consistently kept the ERA story alive as the historian of the VIP Club\, which has represented retirees from ERA and its successor companies since 1980. Benson said Sperry\nput up a plaque on the site in 1986 but that it disappeared in the 1990s. \nThe Ramsey County Historical Society would like to acknowledge the work of Benson and of the University of Minnesota’s Charles Babbage Institute\, which has built up an extensive collection of documents about the computer industry in Minnesota. Erwin Tomash\, an engineer at ERA\, founded the Institute and Dr. Arthur Norberg\, who held the University’s ERA Land Grant Chair for the History of Technology\, was the Institute’s first chair. \nRCHS appreciates the generosity of Don Hall in making this event possible. Hall is the author of “Generation of Wealth: The rise of Control Data and how it inspired an era of innovation and growth in the Upper Midwest\,” published by the Nodin Press in 2014. RCHS thanks the current\nowners of the building\, Capital Partners\, for their assistance with this project. \nImage: Early ERA employees\, c. 1955\, l-r: Jack Hill\, Dr. Arnold Cohen\, Frank Mullaney\, Bob Perkins\, Arnie Hendrickson\, Bill Keye.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: The Hormel Strike of 1985-1986
DESCRIPTION:The Hormel Strike of 1985-1986: Historical Perspectives\nPeter Rachleff\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, May 18\, 2023\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 \nIn August 1985 the nation’s attention turned to Austin\, Minnesota\, where 1\,700 meatpacking workers prepared to launch a strike against the George A. Hormel Company in what was widely seen as the most significant labor-management conflict since the Professional Air Traffic Controllers’ strike of 1981\, and as a harbinger of the change in the direction of American labor relations since the election of Ronald Reagan. From coast-to-coast\, from factory floors to corporate boardrooms\, from the front pages to the drinking fountains\, it was seen as history in the making. In 1993\, the story would become the subject of Barbara Kopple’s Academy Award-winning documentary\, “American Dream.”\nHow did a small town in southern Minnesota come to occupy such a large place in our country’s labor history? What roles have meat-packing unions and the labor movement played in the Minnesota economic and political landscape? How have those roles impacted the influence of Minnesota’s labor movement on our nation’s economic and political landscape? And\, now\, thirty-seven years later\, what impact might this history have on the emergence of a new labor movement\, based in very different industries and led by workers who are very different from those meat-packing workers? \nJoin Peter Rachleff\, former Macalester College history professor\, Emeritus Co-Executive Director and co-founder of the East Side Freedom Library\, in an exploration of these and related questions. Professor Rachleff is the author of Hard-Pressed in the Heartland: The Hormel Strike and the Future of the Labor Movement (1993).

SUMMARY:History Revealed: An Interrupted Childhood\, Part Two
DESCRIPTION:An Interrupted Childhood:\nOral Histories of Polish WWII Survivors in Minnesota\, Part Two\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, April 6\, 2023\, 7:00 pm\nIn partnership with the Minnesota Polish Medical Society\, the East Side Freedom Library and the Roseville Library.\n \nIn conjunction with a photographic exhibition in Landmark Center\, March 5-April 30\, 2023 \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. For questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nThe stories of three Polish survivors of WWII will be shared – oral histories of their experiences as refugees\, and that of other Polish immigrants to Minnesota. In conjunction with the photo exhibition\, “An Interrupted Childhood” shown at Landmark Center and at the Minnesota State Capitol\, join us and learn the stories of Maria\, Wiktor\, and Adam\, shared histories that shed light on the forgotten children of WWII. Adam Han-Gorski will be the survivor in attendance at this program. \nIf you have missed Part One of this program it will be available on the RCHS YouTube channel. \nWWII shaped the course of Polish history in the 20th century and redefined its borders. It started in September 1939 when Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union jointly invaded Poland. The two invaders effectively dismembered the country. Poland suffered immense losses; nearly six million Polish citizens\, including three million Polish Jews\, were killed. \nThe stories of WWII survivors Adam\, Anatol\, Leonard\, Magdalena\, Maria\, Walter\, and Wiktor are part of the MPMS project An Interrupted Childhood: Polish WWII Survivors in Minnesota. During this phase of the Kalejdoskop Polski MN project\, we collected the oral histories and photographs of Polish Minnesotans who have been through the horrors of the war: a forced laborer in the Third Reich\, deportees to Siberia\, a Polish Army Cadet\, a Volhynia Massacre survivor\, and a Holocaust survivor. These stories represent different fates of Poles during WWII and its aftermath. The collected narratives teach us lessons of suffering\, survival\, resilience\, and gratitude are truly humbling and inspiring. \nThis two-part program and exhibition represents part two of the Kalejdoskop Polski MN project initiated in 2020 by the Minnesota Polish Medical Society that aims to document the stories of contemporary Polish immigrants and refugees who settled in Minnesota. The lead artist for Kalejdoskop Polski MN is Grzegorz Litynski\, a professional documentary photographer (www.litynski.com). This body of work forms a traveling photographic exhibition. Katarzyna Litak curates the exhibition. \nExhibition Organizer & Curator: Katarzyna Litak\, MD\, is MPMS President\, Kalejdoskop Polski\, MN project manager\, exhibition designer\, and curator. She conducted oral interviews for the project. Originally from Poland\, she continued medical training at the University of Minnesota. She is also a practicing physician. \nHistory Witness: Adam Han-Gorski was born to a Jewish family in Lwów\, Poland (now Ukraine)\, in 1940. Adam survived ghettos in Jaworów and Kraków and was saved by his Polish nanny Katarzyna. At age five\, he reunited with his parents\, who survived the Holocaust. After the war\, the family was forcibly relocated from Lwów\, which became part of the Soviet Union\, to Upper Silesia\, Poland. Later Adam lived in Israel\, Austria\, Germany\, and the United States. Adam became a renowned violinist and a concertmaster who performed with many orchestras worldwide\, including the Minnesota Orchestra. \nOral histories will be shared from:  \nMaria was born in Tiutków\, Poland (now Ukraine)\, in 1939. In June 1940\, Maria was deported with her mother and brother by Soviet Security forces (NKVD) to a work camp in Siberia when she was 18 months old. She was separated from her mother during the deportation and stayed behind with her aunt. Tiutków (Ukrainian name: Тютьків\, Tiutkiw) is a village in the Tarnopol region\, around 100 miles southwest of Lviv. It is located in Volhynia and became a part of the Soviet Union in 1945. After the war\, Maria was deported to Poland from the village where she grew up. It was now a part of the Soviet Union. She grew up behind the Iron Curtain. Therefore\, she could not reunite with her mother and brother Anatol in the United States until March 1957\, when she was 18 \nWiktor was born in Warsaw in 1938. After the Germans and the Soviets jointly invaded Poland\, Wiktor’s family moved out of Warsaw because Wiktor’s father was threatened with arrest by the Nazis. Wiktor spent the whole German occupation in a small village in eastern Poland. After the war\, the family returned to Warsaw. Wiktor became a television documentary filmmaker. In 1980\, he became involved in the Solidarity movement. After martial law was imposed in December 1981\, he lost his job and was pushed out of the country by the communists with a one-way passport. Since 1983\, Wiktor has lived with his family in Minnesota. \n

Green\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, March 23\, 2023\, 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. For questions\, please email events@rchs.com \nThe program will focus on Dr. Green’s new book which recreates twenty days in April 1970 when a then-illegal strike by Minneapolis’s public school teachers marked a singular moment of cultural upheaval—and forever changed the city’s politics\, labor law\, educational climate\, and the right to collective bargaining. \nWhen viewed from our turbulent times\, the Minneapolis of fifty years ago might seem serene\, but Minneapolis schoolteachers of the day remember it quite differently. It was\, author William D. Green said of their recollections\, as if they’d been through war. Since the inception of public education in Minnesota\, teachers were expected to pursue their vocation out of civic spirit\, with low wages\, no benefits\, and no job security. Strike! describes the history and circumstances leading to the teachers’ extraordinary action\, which pitted the progressive and conservative teachers’ unions against each other—and both against the all-powerful school district\, a hostile governor and state legislature\, and a draconian Minnesota law. Capturing the intense emotions and heated rivalries of the strike\, Green profiles the many actors involved\, the personal and professional stakes\, and the issues of politics\, law\, and the business of education. \nInformed by interviews\, firsthand accounts\, news reports\, and written records\, Strike! brings to life a pivotal moment not just for Minneapolis’s teachers but for the city itself\, whose government\, school system\, and culture would\, in a complex but inexorable way\, change course for good. \n \nWilliam D. Green is the M. Anita Gaye Hawthorne Professor of Critical Race and Ethnic Studies and professor of history at Augsburg University. He is author of The Children of Lincoln: White Paternalism and the Limits of Black Opportunity in Minnesota\, 1860–1876 and Degrees of Freedom: The Origins of Civil Rights in Minnesota\, 1865–1912 (both winners of the Hognander Minnesota History Award) and Nellie Francis: Fighting for Racial Justice and Women’s Equality in Minnesota\, all published by Minnesota. He is vice president of the Minnesota Historical Society. \n“At a time when teacher strikes\, education reform\, and public sector unionism are once again at the center of public debate\, we need this deeply researched and sharply narrated account of the 1970 Minneapolis teacher strike more than ever. And no one is better prepared to tell that story than the renowned historian\, professor\, and former superintendent of the Minneapolis Public Schools\, Bill Green.” —William P. Jones\, author of The March on Washington: Jobs\, Freedom and the Forgotten History of Civil Rights  \n“Teachers’ unionism and teachers’ strikes emerged as central topics in American industrial relations in the past decade. William D. Green weaves personal experience with scholarly research to explore the roots of these developments half a century ago. The result facilitates a conversation between the past and the present\, which sheds new light on both.” —Peter Rachleff\, co-executive director\, East Side Freedom Library \n“An inspiring read that shows the hard-fought gains for schools. A frustrating read that shows how many of the problems facing schools have new names and new decorations but are at the core the same as they’ve always been. William D. Green’s book is an important and enthralling history that could not feel more relevant to today.” —Tom Rademacher\, author of It Won’t Be Easy: An Exceedingly Honest (and Slightly Unprofessional) Love Letter to Teaching  \nPlease check out our partner Subtext Books\, located in downtown St. Paul and online at: https://subtextbooks.com/ for these and other History Revealed titles.

It started in September 1939 when Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union jointly invaded Poland. The two invaders effectively dismembered the country. Poland suffered immense losses; nearly six million Polish citizens\, including three million Polish Jews\, were killed. \nThe stories of WWII survivors Adam\, Anatol\, Leonard\, Magdalena\, Maria\, Walter\, and Wiktor are part of the MPMS project An Interrupted Childhood: Polish WWII Survivors in Minnesota. During this phase of the Kalejdoskop Polski MN project\, the collected the oral histories and photographs of Polish Minnesotans who have been through the horrors of the war: a forced laborer in the Third Reich\, deportees to Siberia\, a Polish Army Cadet\, a Volhynia Massacre survivor\, and a Holocaust survivor. These stories represent different fates of Poles during WWII and its aftermath. The collected narratives teach us lessons of suffering\, survival\, resilience\, and gratitude are truly humbling and inspiring. \nThis two-part program and exhibition represents part two of the Kalejdoskop Polski MN project initiated in 2020 by the Minnesota Polish Medical Society that aims to document the stories of contemporary Polish immigrants and refugees who settled in Minnesota. The lead artist for Kalejdoskop Polski MN is Grzegorz Litynski\, a professional documentary photographer (www.litynski.com). This body of work forms a traveling photographic exhibition. Katarzyna Litak curates the exhibition. \nExhibition Organizer & Curator: Katarzyna Litak\, MD\, is MPMS President\, Kalejdoskop Polski\, MN project manager\, exhibition designer\, and curator. She conducted oral interviews for the project. Originally from Poland\, she continued medical training at the University of Minnesota. She is also a practicing physician. \nHistory Witness: Adam Han-Gorski was born to a Jewish family in Lwów\, Poland (now Ukraine)\, in 1940. Adam survived ghettos in Jaworów and Kraków and was saved by his Polish nanny Katarzyna. At age five\, he reunited with his parents\, who survived the Holocaust. After the war\, the family was forcibly relocated from Lwów\, which became part of the Soviet Union\, to Upper Silesia\, Poland. Later Adam lived in Israel\, Austria\, Germany\, and the United States. Adam became a renowned violinist and a concertmaster who performed with many orchestras worldwide\, including the Minnesota Orchestra. \nOral Histories will be shared from the following (they will not be in attendance):\nMagdalena was born in Kraków\, Poland in 1925. During WWII\, Magdalena lived in Kraków until she was arrested in a street roundup on the way home from school in 1941. Magdalena was 16 when she was sent to Germany as a forced laborer. In 1945\, after the war\, she met Eugeniusz (Eugene) Świderski\, a Polish officer who spent five years in a POW camp in Germany. They married and lived in France. In the 1950s\, the family emigrated to the United States with their daughter Elizabeth. Elizabeth Seidner\, Magdalena’s daughter\, was the history witness. \nAnatol was born in 1934 in Tiutków\, Poland (now Ukraine). In June 1940\, at age five\, he was deported with his mother and sister by the Soviet Security forces (NKVD) to a work camp in Siberia. He was released with his mother from the camp in the winter of 1941/42. On their way to the Polish army formed under General Anders\, Anatol separated from his mother and spent nine months in Soviet Russia alone. On the brink of death from starvation\, his mother found him in a Polish orphanage in Iran. With Polish troops\, he and his mother went from Iran to Lebanon before they immigrated to the United States after the war. \nWalter was born in Burdykowszczyzna\, Poland (now Belarus) in\, in 1926. In September 1939\, the Soviet Army invaded eastern Poland\, and the brutal occupation began. In February 1940\, Walter’s family was sent by NKVD to a Soviet work camp near Arkhangelsk in the Arctic Circle. Two years later\, Walter and his family were released from the work camp and journeyed to Uzbekistan to the Polish Army under General W. Anders. As a teenager\, Walter completed military training for Young Soldiers in Egypt and participated in the legendary Monte Cassino battle in 1944. After the war\, he lived in Great Britain and then emigrated to Minnesota in 1961. \n

SUMMARY:History Revealed: The Farmer-Labor Movement: A Minnesota Story
DESCRIPTION:History Revealed: The Farmer-Labor Movement: A Minnesota Story\nDocumentary Film Screening & Discussion\nwith Filmmakers Randy Croce\, Tom O’Connell\, and Anna Kuharjec\n\nHistory Revealed Series\nThursday\, November 10\, 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 East Side Freedom Library\, Ramsey County Historical Society\, and Roseville Public Library invite you to a special session of History Revealed: The Farmer-Labor Movement: A Minnesota Story. This event will include a screening and discussion of a new documentary film.\n\nThe Farmer-Labor movement founded the most successful third-party in U.S. political history. This progressive movement elected candidates and advanced political change in Minnesota from 1917 until its merger with the Democrats in 1944\, to form the DFL\, the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. The documentary portrays this history through the voices of Farmer-Labor leaders and their descendants\, as well as contemporary historians and activists. 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.

SUMMARY:History Revealed: Vikings in the Attic
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.
