‘Real-Life Stories About Social Justice’ Presented by Hennepin History Museum

MINNEAPOLIS — Local activists will share their stories of lifetimes working for social and economic justice at a free program planned for Thursday, September 14 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at the Capri Theater, 2027 West Broadway in Minneapolis.

“An Evening Of Real-Life Stories About Social Justice In Minneapolis” will be presented by the Minneapolis Interview Project, in partnership with Hennepin History Museum.

Beginning in 2016, the Minneapolis Interview Project set out to record oral histories shared by 100 local community activists and union activists who’ve worked at the grassroots level for social change.

The September 14 program will feature some of the activists who participated in the project, who will read from the transcripts of their interviews.

The Minneapolis Interview Project was launched by Anne Winkler-Morey, a former faculty member at Metropolitan State University and member of the MnSCU InterFaculty Organization.

People connected to the labor community who were interviewed as part of the project included Alfreda Daniels, Elizabeth Faue, David Gilbert-Pederson, Cathy Jones, Wyn Massey, Veronica Mendez Moore, Ricardo Levins Morales, Louise Sundin, and others.
