History Club Dinner
Collecting the History of the Civil Rights Movement
Wednesday, september 16 at 6 pm
How did the Wisconsin Historical Society acquire one of the nation’s richest collections on the Civil
Rights Movement in the United States during the 1960s? In a presentation entitled “Bold (Not to
Say Crazy): Building a Civil Rights Archive during the 1960s," our guest speaker, Michael Edmonds,
will recount the fascinating story of how the Wisconsin Historical Society successfully employed a
grassroots effort in the 1960s to collect thousands of records, documents and artifacts relating to the
Civil Rights Movement then underway in the United States. The Society deployed graduate history
students to travel throughout the South, often times at great personal risk, to gather materials from
organizations and individuals at the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement. Their resourceful and, at
times, courageous efforts to collect “history in the making” enabled the Society to amass one of best
collections in the United States on the Civil Rights movement.
A frequent speaker and prolific author, Mr. Edmonds recently edited Risking Everything: A Freedom
Summer Reader, which documents the 1964 Freedom Summer project, when SNCC and CORE
workers and volunteers went to Mississippi to challenge segregation. Mr. Edmonds designed a
powerful, user-friendly curriculum to help teach middle and high school students the history of the
Civil Rights Movement in Milwaukee and the South. Mr. Edmonds serves as the Deputy Administrator
of Library-Archives at the Wisconsin Historical Society and as the curator of its online collection of
more than 25,000 pages documenting Freedom Summer. Volunteers participating in Freedom Summer
were met by extraordinary violence, much of which was covered on national television and focused the
country’s attention on civil rights issues. Public outrage helped spur the U.S. Congress to pass the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
This event is open to all Madison Club members and guests. Cost is $45++ per person for dinner,
including a glass of wine. Please call the Madison Club to make your reservation: 608-255-4861.

On famed Summit Avenue, with
views of downtown St. Paul and
the Mississippi River Valley, sits
reciprocal club, the University Club
of St. Paul (UCSP).
In 1910 the Minnesota Club
Clubhouse was constructed, in
1913 the University Club members
opened their Summit Avenue
Clubhouse, and in 1917 the Saint
Paul Athletic Club opened in
Downtown Saint Paul.
The University Club offers fine
dining, special events, state-of-theart fitness facilities, and overnight
accommodations. Madison Club
members can utilize their reciprocal
privileges to enjoy the perks at the
University Club of St. Paul.
