Law and Order: A new exhibit about Mpls Mayor
Law and Order: The Career And Legacy Of Minneapolis Mayor Charles Stenvig
An exhibit at Elmer L. Andersen Library Gallery, running March 8 through May 7.
Opening reception on March 7 from 6 to 8 p.m. Free and open to the public.
This exhibit, sponsored by the Immigration History Research Center and the department of history, explores the turbulent politics and culture of the late 1960s and 1970s through the career of Minneapolis's controversial mayor, Charles Stenvig. A police officer who ran on an independent, "law and order" platform, Stenvig was a divisive figure in Minneapolis history and the debate about his legacy continues today. The exhibit invites you to interpret Stenvig and his legacy through historical photographs, objects, and video.
