Rondo Neighborhood at the Turn of the 20th Century 2 Wed Jul 9 • 9:00a-12:00p • $34 S. Mansee • Course# 8082-SuSA Oxford Community Center (9:00 a.m.)

Well before the World War 1 era "exodus" of southern African Americans to the north, Saint Paul was home to a lively, complex Black community. Residents pursued a range of occupations, attended a number of churches, and supported social, cultural, and political organizations.

In 1898, a significant group from this community, Rondo, organized and performed a pageant to celebrate Cuba's independence from Spain.
