We completed this project within the parameters set out in our application. To that end, we completed eight interviews with nine activists and transcribed and delivered these to MNHS and local archives in order to fill gaps in local the historical record of antiracist action in the Twin Ports.
At the completion of the project, as we make these materials public, we will work with local media (including the public relations offices of our universities) to raise local awareness of these resources. We envision press releases that announce their availability to the Duluth-Superior community and, we hope, small attention to them.
