Description

The Minneapolis Interview Projectin partnership with Hennepin History Museum, will present an evening of real-life stories about social justice in Minneapolis. The Minneapolis Interview Project was started in 2016 by Anne Winkler-Morey, a writer, historian, activist scholar and Southside resident. Her goal was to interview one-hundred people of different ages, races, genders, economic classes, migration experiences, as well as living in different parts of Minneapolis.  She invited people to tell their life-stories that reveal hidden histories of inequity and the struggle for social justice in Minneapolis.  On Thursday, September 14, Ms. Winkler-Morey and many of the people she interviewed will read from their interview transcripts. A portion of the evening's program will also honor those participants who have passed away since contributing their interviews. Light food from Lotus restaurant will be served.
