Join Jokeda “JoJo” Bell for a Black History Month program about Black actress and activist Hilda Simms. Red Stained: The Life of Hilda Simms, the first full biography of her life and career, weaves primary research with a narrative style to tell the true story of Hilda Simms in the context of a nation gripped in the Cold War and a burgeoning civil rights movement. It is an examination of Simms's rise to fame, her drive to be a respected dramatic actress, and her efforts to create equal opportunities for people of color on stage, on the screen, and behind the camera.
Come for our Free Thursday Nights at the Minnesota History Center event, experience our exhibits, and then learn a truly unique story from Minnesota’s Greatest Generation! The talk starts at 6:30 pm in the 3M Auditorium. Book signing will be available in the lobby following the talk.
This program is made possible by the Maurice Stans Fund.
This event is free and open to the public and registration is not required, but attendees are encouraged to RSVP. Tickets are not required for admission.
