Dr. Valdes takes us on an examination of the birth and 20th century history of the Chicano Studies Department at the University of Minnesota, with particular attention to the role played by the political turbulence of the 1960s and 1970s throughout the nation and in the Twin Cities. He will focus on the creative ongoing tensions between advocates of distinct visions, both within the academic world and within the Twin Cities community, that created the Department and have supported it for more than half a century.

Making Minnesota: Natives, Settlers, Migrants, and Immigrants
The 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.
