Yes, we definitely met our objectives! We have a thorough research document that will provided a comprehensive foundation for an exhibit plan (next project) and exhibit production (subsequent project). In an unplanned development, we formed a partnership with Marvin Anderson, a third-generation resident of the Rondo neighborhood, lawyer, and director of Rondo Avenue, Inch. Mr. Anderson also was key to the creation of the Red Cap Room at the Saint Paul Union Depot. He will continue to serve on the project, as a guest curator on the exhibit. We hope that his involvement will also yield more community involvement with our organization.
