SUMMARY:Minnesota History Center Hosts Thought-Provoking Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:December 7\, 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Minnesota History Center. $15-$20 \nThis year’s line-up\, running from November 2024 through April 2025\, features a range of speakers who demonstrate excellence in historical scholarship and showcase the complexity\, diversity\, and power of our shared American story. This month’s lecture is:  \nHalf American: The Epic Story of African Americans Fighting World War II at Home and Abroad. Matthew Delmont tells the stories of Black military heroes and civil rights icons that fought for a Double Victory: against facism abroad and against racism at home.  \nEvents are offered virtually and in-person at the Minnesota History Center. Individual event tickets: In-person $20\, Virtual $15. For series pricing available. MNHS members save 20% and free student rush tickets will be available day-of. \nFor more information\, visit mnhs.org/events/2863.  \nAdditional topics in the series include: \nThe Girls Who Desegregated America’s Schools \nJanuary 11\, 2025 with Rachel Devlin \nHistorian Rachel Devlin shows how young Black girls were at the center of the grassroots movement to desegregate America’s schools and fight racial inequity in public education. In her award-winning book A Girl Stands at the Door\, Devlin takes us beyond the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision and refocuses our attention on the remarkable stories of the young Black girls who led the fight. From filing desegregation lawsuits with their parents\, to bravely enduring harassment and abuse while integrating formerly all-white schools\, Black girls took on the difficult work of reaching across the color line in public schools. A revelatory history that recovers the underappreciated contributions of a generation of civil rights pioneers. \nCitizens of a Stolen Land: A Conversation of Ho-Chunk History & Survivance \nFebruary 15\, 2025 with Stephen Kantrowitz & Josie Lee \nJoin historian Stephen Kantrowitz and Josie Lee\, Director of the Ho-Chunk Nation Museum & Cultural Center\, for a conversation on Ho-Chunk history\, land\, and contemporary life. Together\, they will speak about Kantrowitz’s new book Citizens of a Stolen Land: A Ho-Chunk History of Nineteenth-Century United States and Lee’s work in promoting\, sheltering\, and preserving past\, present\, and future Ho-Chunk ways of life. Kantrowitz’s book reconsiders the Civil War and Reconstruction eras by centering the Ho-Chunk and their strategic navigation of colonization\, citizenship\, and race to remain in their homelands and protect their sovereignty. \nFierce Desires: A New History of Sex and Sexuality in America \nMarch 15\, 2025 with Rebecca L. Davis \nIn her new book Fierce Desires\, Rebecca L. Davis charts the shifting and multiple roles that sex and sexuality have played in our societies and identities over more than 400 years. Drawing on a wealth of sources\, Davis’s rigorous research and wide scope provides the oft-missing historical depth needed to understand how and why sexuality and gender have taken center stage in some of today’s most polarizing debates. Featuring stories across a wide spectrum of the United States\, Davis demonstrates how fiercely we have valued our desires\, and how far we are willing to go to defend them. \nAsian American Histories of the United States \nApril 12\, 2025 with Catherine Ceniza Choy \nAward-winning historian Catherine Ceniza Choy’s Asian American Histories of the United States is a nearly 200-year history of Asian migration\, labor\, and community formation in the US. Reckoning with the surge in anti-Asian violence during the COVID-19 pandemic\, Choy presents an urgent social history of the fastest growing group of Americans. The book features the lived experiences and diverse voices of immigrants\, refugees\, US-born Asian Americans\, multiracial Americans\, and workers from industries spanning agriculture to healthcare. Despite significant Asian American breakthroughs in American politics\, arts\, and popular culture in the 21st century\, a profound lack of understanding of Asian American history permeates American culture. This ambitious book is fundamental to understanding the American experience and its existential crises of the early 21st century.

It will take place in the Plank Museum & Visitor Center\, the same building that served as a barracks for some members of the Military Intelligence Service Language School.
