At the event Revealing and Healing Histories, you will learn about an artist-driven project, Free the Deeds (@freethedeeds). Part of Free the Deeds is engaging with homeowners who discover their house had a racial covenant on their deed and asking them to put up a lawn sign acknowledging this history.
The films explore why it matters to make history visible and the conversations that can happen between people when people use tools like the lawn signs, the Mapping Prejudice map, and the work of Just Deeds (@justdeedsmn) that helps people renounce their covenants. These small actions can have powerful ripple effects.
Come to the event at the Parkway Theater on September 26th to be a part of the larger conversations about why these small actions can have powerful ripple effects. Reserve your seats at the link in our bio. We recognize that this event is during Rosh Hashanah, so if you can't make it but want to know more, the films will be available free to stream online after the event and will be on our website.

Did you know that changing the time when you use energy can help the environment?
If we all work together, we can use even more wind and solar power. It’s as easy as…using a ceiling fan instead of an air conditioner during the afternoon and evening. Run it counterclockwise in summer to circulate cool air. Keep cool with ceiling fans during the day to use more solar and wind power.
