    Very grateful for such an amazing partnership with Jena Holliday. We spent two session with incredibly brilliant young folks who learned about contemporary Black artist, such as Deborah Roberts, Christian Robinson, Al-Baseer, and Alma Thomas. The group engaged in a range of art forms, and connected it back to the Minnesota Historical Society archives!  We are the artist and authors of our own stories. What a beautiful way for young folks to take that into their hands.

During the past few weeks, our College Interns, NAUMF (Native American Undergraduate Museum Fellows), and Heritage Studies and Public History interns have engaged in work across multiple disciplines, from working with Collections to working at our historic sites. We look forward to highlighting more of our interns' work! Interested in interning with the Minnesota Historical Society?
