Talk-It Hennepin: Honoring History - The Avenue Through the Ages
Talk-It Hennepin kicks off with a panel of local historians and experts in Native history, transit and GLBT issues examining the stories and histories of Minneapolis’ first street and gathering place. Discussion will range from Hennepin Avenue’s roots as a Dakota footpath and a trading/transportation hub for fur, agricultural commodities and people, to its modern transformation and function within the city’s evolving economy.
