About This Event
Historic Fort Snelling will be hosting a screening of the film Reconstruction Destructed, a collaborative film production from OMG Studios and the Minnesota Humanities Center.
Reconstruction Destructed, the latest collaborative documentary film production between OMG Studios and Minnesota Humanities Center, aims to shine a light on the most misunderstood period in American History and why it remains critically important to understand today.
“It challenges our understanding of the impact of slavery and its ongoing impact throughout the United States,” said Monique Linder, Film Director and CEO, OMG Studios. “As our nation struggles to come to grips with our history of racial caste, the legal luminaries, civil rights leaders, and educational scholars are excellent guides not only to illuminate the past but more importantly to provide a path forward,” added Kevin Lindsey, CEO, Minnesota Humanities Center.
Reconstruction Destructed features Minnesota Federal District Court Judge Jerry Blackwell, Bryan Stevenson, Esq., Executive Director of the Equal Justice Initiative, Dr. Josie R. Johnson, University of Minnesota Regent and First Lady of Minnesota Civil Rights and Dr. Duchess Harris, Special Assistant to the Provost and American Studies Professor at Macalester College.
The event will feature a live musical performance, the film screening, and a community discussion.
The film screening is free. Access to the site museum and historic fort in addition to the event requires purchase of site admission.
