CITIZEN chronicle of Minnesotans’ role in achieving the 19th Amendment also suggests that the 70 plus years of activism was itself an important badge of change and true democracy.
Minnesota's North Shore was once connected by water—specifically a fleet of sailing vessels and steamers that hauled mail, fish, freight and passengers to communities up and down the remote coastline. The Steamer America was a star in the early 1900s, with her speed and relative luxury she became a vital lifeline and a friend to many. Produced by WDSE, Duluth.
FLOUR POWER explores how milling made Minnesota. The story charts the growth of wheat farming, the harnessing of water power, the founders of the flour milling industry, and the expansion of the industry into global purveyors of industrialized food product.

In the 1970s, young people in Minnesota radicalized by the Vietnam War created a unique alternative economy featuring dozens of food cooperatives, but a shadowy revolutionary group used conflicts over class and race to try to seize the movement. The ensuing clash pitted friends and comrades in a sometimes violent conflict over the future of the counterculture.
THE BALDIES were a Minneapolis skinhead crew but not quite what you would picture. Through organization and activism, they fought neo-nazis in the 1980s and became an example of countercul- tural groups against racism.
BECOMING BIG LEAGUE explores how sport was changing in 1960 and how that changed Minnesota. From Olympic hockey to High School hoops, from pro-sports origins in Big Ten titles, Becoming Big League is a retro sports page come to life that illustrates how 1960 might be the most dynamic year in Minnesota Sports history. A Twin Cities PBS Original production.
