Minnesota Humanities Center Veterans' Voices
Total: $174,374.40
This Veterans-led initiative draws on the power of the humanities to bring the knowledge, experience, and leadership of Veterans into public life and education. The program helps Minnesotans celebrate Veterans’ stories and provide a stage for future Minnesota Veterans to share their stories, which have often been absent. Veterans’ Voices will recognize the next great generation and illustrate that the Veteran’s voice is essential to the work of building our great democracy. During this time period, Legacy funding helped support Veterans’ Voices work such as:
• The Veterans’ Voices Memorials Project, which provides a guide to educators and the public visiting the Capitol Mall and challenges them to consider how memory, war, and experiences of service are imbricated and represented
• The signature Veterans’ Voices Awards program, designed to honor and demonstrate the diversity of Veterans in Minnesota making positive and extraordinary contributions to their communities
• A storytelling development workshop for Veterans to learn to share their experiences through dynamic storytelling, and subsequent performance opportunities around the state.
• The Veterans’ Voices Workshop for Educators, held at Camp Ripley, provides resources and professional development to help educators bring the missing stories of Veterans, military service members, and military families into their classroom.
