The City of Minneapolis is embarking on a once-in-a-generation opportunity to design and build a new public open space in Downtown Minneapolis. The Downtown East Commons is a 4.2-acre site located next to new office and residential buildings, light rail, and the new multi-purpose stadium. The Commons will serve the downtown community, workers, visitors, residents of Minneapolis and the region. It will also host events connected to the new stadium.
The City of Minneapolis has hired a world renowned team led by landscape architects Hargreaves Associates to design a welcoming green venue that will serve as a respite from the work day, a neighborhood park and an entertainment destination.
We need your input to design a venue that truly reflects a community vision for this open space in the middle of our great city. Please attend an upcoming public meeting, register to get more information, and keep an eye on this web site for project updates.

Remembering the Lattimer Massacre, with Dr. Paul Shackel
Listen to a lecture by Dr. Paul Shackel, chair of the department of anthropology at University of Maryland, about the Lattimer Massacre, an important but largely forgotten moment in American labor history. The talk is the keynote address of the 2015 Midwest Historical Archaeology Conference.
In the Lattimer Massacre in 1897, immigrant coal miners in Lattimer, Pennsylvania, went on strike to gain similar wages to their white, English-speaking coworkers. After a confrontation with the sheriff and his deputies, 25 miners were killed and another 40 were wounded.
Dr. Paul Shackel received his Ph.D. from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1987 and joined the department of anthropology at the University of Maryland in 1996. He currently works with graduate and undergraduate students on the Anthracite Heritage Project, a program that includes oral histories, documentary research and archaeology in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania. The project initially focused on the 1897 Lattimer Massacre and is now exploring issues related to immigration history in the coal patch towns in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

This event is free! (But please bring a small donation for coffee and breakfast goodies.)
More details on the Facebook event page.
Join us historians Tom Balcom, Bob Frame, and Dick Kronick will present an illustrated history of Minnehaha Creek. Kronick will discuss the early history of the creek when it was strong enough to power six different mill sites. Frame will then explain how early grist mills worked — and how the invention of the middlings separator caused a revolution in flour milling. Balcom will conclude the presentation by discussing the history of the creek since 1897 when a dam was placed at its head at Gray’s Bay on Lake Minnetonka -- transforming it into a relatively tame amenity for Minneapolis and suburban parklands.

A series of Sunday afternoon panel discussions with Black women writers from across the diaspora.
Black writers often get lumped together as though there is only one voice from which they speak. In a powerful TED talk, Nigerian novelist, Chimananda Ngozi Adichie points out that there is never a single story. She says “It is vital to listen to the multiple stories of a person or a place, to truly engage and gain an objective and in-depth understanding of a subject being written about.”
In this series, writer Carolyn Holbrook will facilitate conversations with African American, Caribbean, and African women writers on the many voices and stories of Black women writers. Some discussion topics will include identity, the canon, and publishing.
This discussion will feature Caribbean writers Valerie Deus, Junauda Petrus, and Beaudelaine Pierre.
This event is free and open to the public.
