Fee: Free

Join historian William D. Green for an illustrated presentation and book signing of his new book Degrees of Freedom: The Origins of Civil Rights in Minnesota, 1865–1912. Spanning the half-century after the Civil War, Dr. Green draws a rare picture of black experience in a northern state and of the nature of black discontent and action within a predominantly white, ostensibly progressive society. William D. Green, professor of history at Augsburg College, is the author of A Peculiar Imbalance: The Rise and Fall of Racial Equality in Minnesota. After his talk Dr. Green will sign copies of the book which can be purchased in the Mill City Museum store.
