SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening for Winston: A Woman's Fight for Freedom in Minnesota
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, October 11\, 2025\, as we celebrate the opening of our newest exhibit Winston: A Woman’s Fight for Freedom in Minnesota\, the little-known story about Eliza Winston\, the first and only enslaved person to successfully fight for her freedom in a Minnesota courtroom. \nThis namesake exhibit is based on the scholarship of exhibit co-curator Dr. Christopher P. Lehman\, author and professor of the Department of Social Sciences at St. Cloud State University\, and features artifacts from our permanent collection as well as newly commissioned artwork. Winston presents the biography of one brave African American woman and the short time she spent in Minnesota. Her story not only sheds new light on local history\, but transcends it\, establishing significance within national history. \nAt 11:30 am\, there will be a presentation in the museum’s Great Room featuring remarks by Dr. Lehman about his book It Took Courage: Eliza Winston’s Quest for Freedom\, and a reading by Mary Moore Easter\, poet and emerita professor from Carleton College\, who will read from her book Free Papers\, which was inspired by the testimony of Eliza Winston. \nA book signing will follow the program. Books are available for purchase that day in the museum’s store. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided. Reservations required. A $10 donation is encouraged for this program. \nPhotograph of Dr. Lehman courtesy Jeff Yapuncich.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception for True North: The Art and Activism of Phillip Murphy
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of True North\, a photography showcase featuring an impressive collection of images by the late citizen journalist and artist Phillip Murphy. A polarizing figure\, Murphy used his camera for both art and advocacy. \nAs an artist\, Murphy captured the beauty he saw in the world through highly accomplished nature and landscape photography and still life portraits. As a citizen journalist\, he used photography and social media to provide real-time crime and car accident reporting and raise awareness of rising violence in his North Minneapolis community that he felt was overlooked by mainstream media. This work earned him both praise and criticism from members of a vibrant community grappling with issues of crime\, policing\, race\, and justice. \nPhilip Murphy passed away in 2024\, leaving behind a rich body of work that captured both scenes of beauty and brutality. Come learn more about Murphy and discover his artwork. \nDoors will open at 5pm\, remarks by the curators at 6pm. Light refreshments will be provided. \nCost: Free\, registration required
