SUMMARY:Hubert Humphrey’s Legacy in Minneapolis
DESCRIPTION:Author Samuel G. Freedman and former Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak will discuss Hubert Humphrey’s enduring legacy in Minneapolis at a very special event at the Woman’s Club of Minneapolis on Wednesday\, March 6. Freedman’s newest book Into the Bright Sunshine: Young Hubert Humphrey and the Fight for Civil Rights provides fresh perspectives on Humphrey’s early political life and of Minneapolis\, the city where he got his start. Rybak\, the 46th mayor of Minneapolis who served in that role from 2002 to 2014\, offers a viewpoint on Humphrey’s impact on the city from the lens of a fellow mayor. Freedman and Rybak will share their insights about Humphrey’s era and how the racial politics in Minneapolis sharped his subsequent political career. They will also discuss his legacy into the 21st century against the backdrop of the murder of George Floyd and its impact not only on Minneapolis\, but the nation as a whole. \nA book signing will immediately follow the event. Into the Bright Sunshine is available for purchase in the museum’s store. \nRegister for the in-person event with the link at the top of the page.
