Crafting and other events at the Princeton library

TESTIFY: A Virtual Conversation

Join people from across the state of Minnesota virtually on Tuesday, April 30 at 7 pm for an evening of conversation with Justice Alan Page and his daughter, Georgi Page-Smith to discuss the TESTIFY: Americana from Slavery to Today Exhibit.

Photographs of selections from the family’s extraordinary collection are currently touring ECRL’s library branches. Please visit our events calendar at ecrlib.org or talk to staff for more information about when it will be visiting your library branch.

“Before reconciliation, there must be truth – and the truth can be ugly,” said Justice Page of the exhibit. “But we cannot reconcile and move forward if an increasingly louder group of people continue to deflect, minimize and sweep history under the rug.”

This program is made possible through the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
