Minnesota Humanities Commission

About the Author

The Minnesota Humanities Commission, established in 1971, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering the understanding and appreciation of humanities across the state through innovative programs, grants, and public initiatives that explore diverse cultural narratives and historical perspectives. Committed to bridging communities and amplifying underrepresented voices, the Commission has championed literary projects that celebrate the rich tapestry of American experiences. Their publication 'Braided Lives: An Anthology of Multicultural American Writing' exemplifies this mission by weaving together stories from various cultural backgrounds, promoting empathy and dialogue in an increasingly interconnected world. Through such endeavors, the Commission continues to enrich Minnesota's cultural landscape and inspire lifelong learning.
