February 12, at 7 p.m.
Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd
Eric Roper and Greg McMoore will discuss the hidden histories of race and housing in Minneapolis, sparked by Roper’s research into the Black family that once owned his 113-year-old home. Through the Robinsons’ story and McMoore’s own family’s journey from slavery to South Minneapolis, the conversation explores how personal histories reveal the roots and lasting impact of racial inequality in the city.

The Land Speaks: Stories the Land Holds
Can the land speak—and if we listen, what might we hear? Together, we’ll explore how the histories held in the neighborhood lands between the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers have shaped our shared life today. Embedded in the rock and soil are traces of what has lived, moved, and changed over billions of years, as well as more recent human stories: Who has called this place home? Who has been welcomed, excluded, or displaced? How have these realities shaped us—and how might they guide us toward living in harmony with one another and the Earth, our common home?
All are welcome. Events are free; no sign-up required.
