SUMMARY:History Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We will be beginning a new book\, 1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created (2011)\, by Charles Mann. A new paperback edition of this book can be had for $15 – $18\, and an ebook is only $5. For the 3rd we will read through Part One. \nThis book is a companion to the author’s book\, 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus\, which won numerous awards and that we read a couple of years ago. However\, the books are separate and one does not have to read 1491 in order to understand 1493. While the former covers recent research on the status of human populations in the Americas at the time of Columbus’ arrival\, the latter discusses the Columbian Exchange that followed\, good and bad. \nOur group will do their own exchange: sharing ideas and insights into the book and our own experiences. But this will be all good.

SUMMARY:Mapping Prejudice
DESCRIPTION:For many years restrictive covenants in deeds and documents related to real estate transactions reserved land for the exclusive use of white people. Research involving academics\, community  activists\, and community members unearth the evidence of these practices. This allowed a map to be made showing how these restrictive practices were embedded in the physical landscape. This is a continuing project to expose the corrosive effects of structural racism. \nDenise Pike and Marguerite Mills\, local historians and researchers\, will present their work which builds on the research by the Mapping Prejudice project to illuminate the history of racial covenants in Minneapolis. The researchers will present their work and research funded by the Minnesota Independent Scholars’ Forum. \nDenise Pike will discuss the creation of the traveling exhibit\, Displaced. First debuted at the Linden Hills Library\, Displaced connects the history of racial covenants to a broader conversation about Indigenous and Black displacement\, racial housing discrimination\, and lasting racial inequities in our broader Twin Cities communities. Denise will also be discussing the creation of a community workshop guide\, created to assist our local communities feel empowered and ready to tackle conversations about racial equity. \nMarguerite Mills will discuss the creation of the digital map component of the Displaced exhibit. In collaboration with Mapping Prejudice colleagues\, Mills researched the roots of an emerging Black community in southwest Minneapolis. Her digital cartography visualized the establishment and displacement of that community through white violence and racial covenanting. Her work in this small geography reveals indigenous dispossession and Black displacement as nodes on the same trajectory of white supremacy. Thanks to the initial map created in partnership with the MISF\, she has continued adding to this body of knowledge and will present updates from her most recent research. Mills will also discuss the accompanying K-12 lesson plan created for use with the map.
