Home is Here II: Harrison
November 10 @ 5:30 pm – 8:00 pm
Join Our Streets and the Bring Back 6th Coalition for a dynamic community discussion about the future of Olson Memorial Highway.
Facilitated by Tabitha Montgomery, Near North residents will discuss anti-displacement priorities, identify concerns and existing strengths, and contribute to a vision where any reinvestment made in a redesign of Olson Memorial directly benefits current residents. Prior to the event, residents are encouraged to review the policy toolkit that was made using community feedback from the last Home is Here series.
A free community dinner will be provided at the event. To help ensure we have plenty of food for all, RSVPs are encouraged, but all community members are welcome to attend.
Bring Back 6th
Once called the “Beale Street of Minneapolis,” the old Near-Northside was an integrated Black and Jewish community that was destroyed in 1939 for the construction of Olson Memorial Highway, a low-trafficked highway “to nowhere” that has been polluting the neighborhood ever since.
