Navitism definition with religious symbols in background

The politicization of anti-immigrant fears is nothing new, nor are grassroots efforts to resist such campaigns.  Join East Side Freedom Library co-executive director Peter Rachleff as he discusses the ways that business and political leaders promoted nativism in WWI era Minnesota as a means to squelch the labor movement and its farmer allies. Peter’s presentation will bring us into a conversation between the past and the present as we consider the re-emergence of nativism today.

This is part of the Untold Stories series sponsored by the Friends of the Saint Paul Library.
