With 7 billion people and growing, what kind of world do we choose to live in? The Minnesota Humanities Center brings the unique resources of the humanities to the challenges and opportunities of our times. We strengthen community, deepening our connections to each other by bringing into public life the authentic voices of people that have often been left out or marginalized. We draw upon the knowledge and wisdom, history and creative works of all cultures. Through dialogue, education, and partnerships across the state we are building a thoughtful, engaged, literate, and inclusive future for our state and its citizens.
