Author Event: William Green

What happened to the black community in Minnesota after the Emancipation Proclamation? In a narrative
spanning the Civil War and Reconstruction, professor and author William Green will profile four white Minnesotans who championed civil rights but ultimately worked to keep black Americans down.

This event is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant provided by the Traverse des Sioux Library Cooperative, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
