The Morrison County Historical Society is presenting the Role of the Arts and Artists in Social Justice Movements.

This is the second program in the February event series and the program will feature a combination of videos and panel discussion. Participants will view two videos – the making of the Black Lives Matter mural and Un-Heard, followed by a panel discussion with artists, Melodee Strong and Joe Davis. The panel discussion will be moderated by Georgia Fort and will include the Black Lives Matter mural in Minneapolis, public art and the role that artists have played in the fight for racial justice in the Twin Cities, particularly after the killing of George Floyd.

The panel will discuss how art can bring about social change and spur people to action. The free online event takes place Saturday, February 13th, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
