The Historyapolis Project seeks to illuminate the history of Minneapolis. Inspired by the idea that history is a powerful tool for community-building, our team is working to unearth stories that can explain how the city took shape. We hope to entertain and engage as many people as possible. But we also have a fierce desire to challenge popular assumptions about our city’s bygone days.<\/p>\n

This work began with the recognition of a community need. In our state’s largest city we do not have a clearinghouse where people can go to find the full story of the past. No complete history of the city has been written since 1940, when\u00a0Minneapolis: The Story of a City<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>was issued as a joint effort of the Works Progress Administration and the Departments of Education for the city and the state.<\/p>\n

Today, Minneapolis sees itself as a progressive metropolis. Residents boast about a superior quality of life that includes superlative arts,\u00a0world-class parks<\/a>,\u00a0an innovative\u00a0non-profit sector\u00a0<\/a>and\u00a0a climate of social tolerance, especially for sexual diversity<\/a>. While this civic pride is commendable, it can obscure dark and troubling episodes that contemporary residents would like to forget. Our team is working collaboratively to craft a courageous history of our community, creating narratives meant to encourage a reckoning with the complex legacies of our collective past.<\/p>\n
