The Golden Valley Historical Society (GVHS) is hosting a panel discussion for Black History Month titled “Moving the Needle Forward: Equality, Equity, and Progress in Challenging Times.” The panel will take place Wednesday, Feb 19, 7 pm at the Golden Valley Historical Society, 6731 Golden Valley Rd.
Panelists include Golden Valley Mayor Roslyn Harmon, Saint Louis Park Mayor Nadia Mohamed, and Golden Valley Police Chief Virgil Green. These three Black leaders, trailblazers in the western Twin Cities suburbs, will engage in a discussion facilitated by entrepreneur, author, and playwright Rose McGee.
Since Golden Valley and Saint Louis Park have joined forces in the “Westopolis” (west of Minneapolis) marketing venture, the panel will explore the area’s changes, needs, challenges, and achievements.
The event is free, open to the public, and will be recorded for future replay. Full details are available on the GVHS website.
