The Center for Democracy and Citizenship at Augsburg College has just released a study that finds Minnesotans are leaders in voting and volunteering in the United States. The study, which you can download, was cowritten by codirecter of the center Harry Boyte, who is also the author of The Citizen Solution: How You Can Make a Difference, a hands-on guide to community activism using examples from Minnesota.
Clayton Jackson McGhie Memorial: Nonprofit Mission Award Winner
Posted byMary Poggione on 23 Sep 2009 | Tagged as: Awards, History, Regional History, nonprofit
The Clayton Jackson McGhie Memorial nonprofit foundation has won a well-deserved Nonprofit Mission Award for its role in fighting racism.
The memorial, dedicated to the victims of the 1920 lynchings in Duluth, was unveiled in 2003, but since then, the organization has remained active in developing programs for community education and school curriculum.
If you would like to read the history of the lynchings in Duluth, check out Michael Fedo’s The Lynchings in Duluth or try Warren Read’s memoir The Lyncher in Me about his being the great-grandson of one of the men responsible for the crime.
Minnpost ran an article yesterday about all of the Nonprofit Mission Award winners.
