SUMMARY:Bring Back 6th History Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Through the Bring Back 6th History Exhibit at UROC during October 2024\, you are invited to imagine the aliveness of Old 6th Avenue in the mid-1900s and discover how anti-Black and anti-Jewish decisions and policies expedited its destruction. \n\n\n\nLook east along Olson Memorial Highway toward downtown Minneapolis. Ninety years ago this would have been 6th Avenue North\, a vibrant\, walkable commercial district with thirteen restaurants\, eleven synagogues\, grocery stores\, a laundromat\, ice cream shops\, five churches\, a streetcar line\, and a half dozen nightclubs and live music venues. \n\n\n\nOnce called the “Beale Street of Minneapolis\,” the old Near-Northside was an integrated Black and Jewish community that was destroyed for the construction of Olson Memorial Highway. What was once 6th Avenue\, a thriving community and place of commerce\, is now a trench of traffic polluting the neighborhood. \n\n\n\nThe Bring Back 6th Mobile Exhibit was developed in 2022 by Our Streets in partnership with the University of Minnesota College of Design’s Department of Heritage Studies and Public History and Harrison Neighborhood Association.  \n\n\n\nView the exhibit during the month of October at the University of Minnesota’s Urban Research and Outreach-Engagement Center (UROC). The exhibit is presented courtesy of UROC. \n\n\n\nLearn how Our Streets and community partners are advocating for a new\, more community-centered version of The Avenue on the Bring Back 6th initiative page.

SUMMARY:Mapping Prejudice on 6th Ave North
DESCRIPTION:Olson Memorial Highway\, or Highway 55\, is an urban highway running through North Minneapolis. It is one of many urban highways that divides communities\, pollutes the environment\, and creates a hazardous environment for nearby residents. \n\n\n\nOlson Memorial Highway has a uniquely devastating history\, as the construction of the highway was at the expense of a thriving Black and Jewish cultural corridor along 6th Avenue North that was home to dozens of homes\, shops\, businesses\, and music venues. \n\n\n\nBring Back 6th Campaign\n\n\n\nOur Streets Advocacy Director José Antonio Zayas Cabán and Mapping Prejudice Co-Founder Kirsten Delegard present on the history of Olson Memorial Highway and how racist housing policies\, along with transportation and urban development\, demonstrate an urgency to transform the highway into a boulevard as a means to restore safety and accessibility back into the communities through which it divides.

SUMMARY:252/94 PAC Meeting (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is meeting with the Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) for the 252/94 project. The PAC is made up of elected officials representing the impacted communities neighboring the transportation project and other decision-makers.  \n\n\n\nDuring the meeting\, MnDOT shares the latest project updates. There may be time for the public to ask questions or make comments at the end of the meeting. \n\n\n\nRegister for the meeting to oppose the expansion and rebuild options for this corridor. There is local opposition\, and the project threatens to displace more than 40 homes and businesses. We know expansion doesn’t solve traffic. It’s unacceptable for MnDOT to continue with expansion options for this project. \n\n\n\nCan’t make the meeting?  Email decision-makers. \n\n\n\nTake Action
