Despite discrimination and frequent erasure, marginalized groups have continued to serve our country into the present. Examining Military Service From the Margins will bring together Veterans and civilians from Minnesota and beyond to examine the experiences of female, Black, American Indian, LGBT, and immigrant service members across U.S. history, and the complicated dynamics behind serving a country that does not always serve you in return.
This two-part series will be Saturday, November 2 and Sunday, November 10, both 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. at the History Center. The public is welcome to either or both. Learn more and register in advance at mnhum.org.
Examining Military Service From the Margins is produced by the Minnesota Humanities Center with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and Minnesota Legacy Funds.
