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.

SUMMARY:"When Minnehaha Flowed with Whiskey" Spirited Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us for “a little raucous” publication celebration for Karen E. Cooper’s new book\, When Minnehaha Flowed with Whiskey: A Spirited History of the Falls. \n\nHer book examines the lost history of Minnehaha Falls—featuring dance halls\, secret saloons\, wild behavior\, lawsuits\, and plenty of whiskey. \n\nIcehouse will debut two specially crafted cocktails inspired by the book\, including a prized drink of the cognoscenti in the 19th century called . . . well you’ll have to come to the event to find out! (21+\, cash bar) \n\nMinnehaha Falls in Minneapolis has been a much-loved place for a very long time. Native people visited the Falls for millennia before 1855\, when Longfellow’s Song of Hiawatha put its “laughing waters” into the American imagination. Tourists from the cities in the East soon began arriving on new railroads to view its picturesque loveliness. And Minnehaha Regional Park is still a favorite place for walking\, biking\, and glorying in the sights and sounds of the famous waterfall. \n\nBut from the 1880s until at least 1912\, Minnehaha Falls was a scene of surprising mayhem. The waterfall was privately owned from the 1850s through 1889\, and entrepreneurs made money from hotels and concessions. Even after the area became a city park\, shady operators set up at its borders and corrupt police ran “security.” Drinking\, carousing\, sideshows\, dances that attracted unescorted women\, and general rowdiness reigned—to the dismay of the neighbors. By 1900\, social reformers began to redeem Minnehaha Park. During the struggle for control\, the self-indulgent goings-on there became more public and harder to ignore \n\nKaren E. Cooper\, a photo historian and writer\, has been collecting photographs and researching the history of Minnehaha Falls for more than two decades. Her “Raucous Ramble” tours with Hennepin History Museum were recently featured in the Star Tribune. \n\n6:30 pm Doors Open\n7:00 -8:00 pm Author Talk\n8:00 -9:00 pm Book Signing (books will be available for purchase at event) \n\nHosted by Hennepin History Museum\, Icehouse MPLS\, and Minnesota Historical Society Press.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Whiteness in Plain View: A History of Racial Exclusion in Minnesota
DESCRIPTION:Join us and author Chad Montrie for an evening of discussion on the launch of his new book Whiteness in Plain View: A History of Racial Exclusion in Minnesota. \nAn examination of White Minnesotans’ efforts to exclude African Americans from local communities\, jobs\, and housing across the state and through the decades.Minnesota is a paradox. Widely seen as a progressive stronghold of the Midwest\, the state also has some of the greatest racial disparities in the nation. Those disparities have their roots in Minnesota’s earliest days as a territory and in the decades that followed. From enslaved people brought to the territory by military officers to migrants traveling to the North Star State after the Civil War\, African Americans have long been present in Minnesota’s history. Yet while many came here looking to establish new lives\, they were often met with White resistance and attempts to exclude them.Whiteness in Plain View examines the ways White residents across Minnesota acted to intimidate\, control\, remove\, and keep out African Americans over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Their methods ranged from anonymous threats\, vandalism\, and mob violence to restrictive housing covenants\, realtor deceit\, and mortgage discrimination\, and they were aided by local\, state\, and federal government agencies as well as openly complicit public officials. What they did was not an anomaly or aberration\, in some particular place or passing moment\, but rather common and continuous. Chapter by chapter\, the book shows that Minnesota’s overwhelming Whiteness is neither accidental nor incidental\, and that racial exclusion’s legacy is very much woven into the state’s contemporary politics\, economy\, and culture. \nAdvance Praise \n“An earnest look at the subtle\, insidious\, and sometimes violent ways in which Minnesotans engaged in segregationist policies. Chad Montrie explains how the fear of Black labor that White Southerners held post-Reconstruction gripped the North and led to pervasive exclusion of Black Minnesotans from social\, political\, and economic life.” \n– JoJo Bell\, board president\, African American Interpretive Center of Minnesota \nAuthor Information\nChad Montrie is a professor in the history department at the University of Massachusetts\, Lowell. He is the author of four books\, including The Myth of Silent Spring: Rethinking the Origins of American Environmentalism. His article “In that Very Northern City: Recovering a Forgotten Struggle for Racial Integration in Duluth” appeared in the Summer 2020 issue of Minnesota History magazine.
