Location: Online (Zoom)
Join us for McCourtney Institute for Democracy's Virtual Lecture Series, "Center for Democratic Deliberation Kenneth Burke Lecture." Catherine R. Squires, Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Minnesota, will present "Unsettling Displacements: Views from Rondo and Hallie Q. Brown." This virtual lecture will take place on Wednesday, September 2 from 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. (EST).
In this lecture, Squires will use the story of the Hallie Q. Brown Community Center in St. Paul, Minnesota as a way to consider relationships among public memory, public voice and public spaces. She will show how African American identity was removed from a broader Midwestern identity and was replaced by a narrative that focused on white settlers. Brown was a Black suffragist, and this talk is very timely as we mark the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment.
