Mark your calendars for an insightful journey into a pivotal, yet often overlooked, period of our state’s past. Join us on Friday, August 8, 2025, for a special event with acclaimed historian Greg Gaut as he discusses his compelling book, The War at Home. Did you know that when Americans went to war in 1917, the conflict wasn’t just fought overseas? Here in Minnesota, it was a time of intense internal struggle. Imagine a Minnesota gripped by: Bitter polarization as farmers and workers challenged the wealthy. Fierce campaigns for women’s suffrage and against alcohol. The fight for racial justice by African Americans against Jim Crow and lynchings. Rising nativism and a flagrant disregard for democratic norms. Please bring a non-perishable food item for donation to CHUM’s food shelf. Visit our website for further information.
