Project Overview

3/6 - Not for Sale/Not in our Neighborhood
Join us for a special event as the Minnesota History Theatre presents scenes from two new plays, Not for Sale/ Not in our Neighborhood, about the shameful history of 20th century housing segregation right here in the heart of the liberal Twin Cities. A discussion of the tragic events that gave the lie to the myth of Minnesota Nice will follow the presentation.
