TCDP TOP PICK | Minnesota Literacy Council Journeys Reading and Awards Ceremony

05/22/2013 - 6:00pm

TCDP TOP PICK: Though those "Pass It On" billboards generally seem pretty useless (nothing against Mia Hamm, but can we maybe get Seimone Augustus up there?), it's hard not to feel genuinely inspired by the one featuring the guy who learned to read at 70. That's the kind of magic the Minnesota Literacy Council makes happen every day, and on May 22 you're invited to see first-hand as the organization's adult learners present their work at The Loft Literary Center. - Jay Gabler

TCDP TOP PICK | Clifford Canku and Michael Simon present "The Dakota Prisoner of War Letters"

04/19/2013 (All day)

TCDP TOP PICK: Our state's sad history has been steadily coming to light, and the Minnesota Historical Society Press is making an important contribution to that process with the publication of The Dakota Prisoner of War Letters (Dakota Kaskapi Okicize Wowapi), a compilation of 50 letters written from the Iowa prison camp where 270 Dakota men were imprisoned from the war's end until they were freed by President Andrew Johnson three years later. For all its historical importance, this is not a starter volume for those who know little of the war. Its greatest value—both to historians and to the causal reader—is in illuminating the complexity of these men's lives. Neither blameless victims nor evil criminals, these were men who were caught in a terrible situation and who did what they felt they had to do for their families and communities. - read the complete review by Jay Gabler
