Originating in underground Black and gay clubs\, disco had unseated rock as America’s most popular music by the late 1970s. But many diehard rock fans viewed disco\, with its repetitive beat and culture that emphasized pleasure\, as shallow and superficial. A story that’s about much more than music\, The War on Disco explores how the powerful anti-disco backlash revealed a cultural divide that to some seemed to be driven by racism and homophobia. The hostility came to a head on July 12\, 1979\, when a riot broke out at “Disco Demolition Night” during a baseball game in Chicago. \nThe film’s runtime is 60 min. \nTrailer: https://www.pbs.org/…/americ…/features/war-disco-teaser/ \nThe Nicollet County Historical Society and Saint Peter Community and Family Education present our fall lineup of documentary films! The public is welcome to join us for these free films at the Treaty Site History Center.

The 2024 Preservation Month theme is “People Saving Places” to shine the spotlight on everyone doing the work of saving places—in ways big and small. To recognize Preservation Month\, the Nicollet County Historical Society is hosting a presentation by Michael Koop from the State Historic Preservation Office on Thursday\, May 16\, at 6:00 p.m.\, entitled “Strengthening Community Through Historic Preservation.” Historic preservation involves: \n\nRecognizing places from our past that are important to the American people.\nCaring for them.\nUsing them to enrich our lives.\n\nThese special places reveal every aspect of our country’s origins and development. Historic places help us understand who we are and the meaning of our accomplishments and shortcomings. Preservation\, above all\, protects and maintains our past for future generations. Efforts to conserve historic resources are founded on the involvement of many individuals and organizations\, including our local community. The real action in historic preservation is at the local level since the results of survey\, planning\, and evaluation work must be integrated into other broad planning efforts. Hear about the variety of work done by Minnesota’s Heritage Preservation Commissions to create a range of tools to educate and reach people and to help conserve important historic properties across the state.

Once valued for their fur or hunted as pests\, these industrious rodents are seen in a new light through the eyes of this novel assembly of beaver enthusiasts and “employers” who reveal the ways in which the presence of beavers can transform and revive landscapes. Using their skills as natural builders and brilliant hydro-engineers\, beavers are being recruited to accomplish everything from finding water in a bone-dry desert to recharging water tables and coaxing life back into damaged lands. 60 minutes.

Hosted by sports icon and champion of equality Billie Jean King\, the film weaves together the first-hand stories of eight icons to discuss how Title IX and their own achievements forever changed the course of women’s sports. \nThe interviews pair an athlete at the top of her game today with an athlete whose achievements helped pave the way for those who followed. The pairings include Billie Jean King and flag football star Diana Flores; basketball legend Nancy Lieberman and Olympic gold medalist Chloe Kim; soccer star and World Cup winner Julie Foudy and Olympic gold medalist Suni Lee; and track and field world-record holder Jackie Joyner-Kersee with four-time tennis Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka. \nThese far-reaching and dynamic conversations showcase the perseverance\, pain\, and progress of women who dared to challenge the system\, defy conventional norms and change the games we love forever. Groundbreakers celebrates the advancements of women in sports and society\, while also revealing the generational mentorship and community building that has fueled the progress made alongside the ongoing pursuit of equality for women everywhere. \n1h 55 min.

Although most listeners understood that the program was a radio drama\, the next day’s headlines reported that thousands of others plunged into panic\, convinced that America was under a deadly Martian attack. It turned out to be H.G. Wells’ classic The War of the Worlds\, performed by 23-year-old Orson Welles. \nFeaturing interviews with film director and cinema historian Peter Bogdanovich\, Welles’s daughter Chris Welles Feder\, and other authors and experts\, as well as dramatizations of some of the thousands of letters sent to Welles by an alternately admiring and furious public\, War of the Worlds explores how Welles’s ingenious use of the new medium of radio struck fear into an already anxious nation. \n<> \nThe Nicollet County Historical Society and Saint Peter Community and Family Education present our fifteenth season of documentary films!

Johnson was the most unlikely champion of Civil Rights. But his actions in the White House told a different story when he dared to champion two laws that changed America and the world – the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Now\, fifty years later\, JFK & LBJ: A Time for Greatness sheds light on the fascinating story of a president who knew how to harness the nation’s grief over John F. Kennedy’s assassination\, twist arms\, and get his way. The film includes rarely-seen footage\, secret White House tapes\, and personal testimony from LBJ’s advisors\, biographers\, friends\, and family.\n60 min.\, NR. \n<> \nThe Nicollet County Historical Society and Saint Peter Community and Family Education present our fifteenth season of documentary films!
