Founded in 2005, the mission of the Bismarck Historical Society is to learn, preserve and promote the history of Bismarck, North Dakota.
Presenter: Ben Kubischta
In 1947, Branch Rickey integrated Major League Baseball with Jackie Robinson. What is less known is that Bismarck's Neil Churchill assembled an integrated team in the mid-1930s that included Satchel Paige. With Tom Dunkel's book Color Blind, Ben Kubischta will explore this team and the origins of North Dakota's most historic ballpark, the Bismarck Municipal Ballpark.
The event is sponsored by the University of Mary in partnership with the Bismarck Historical Society. It is free and open to the general public.
Presenter is Chris Cavanaugh. He will explore the historical evolution of power dynamics between state and federal governments in the United States.
Tickets can be purchased online; cost is $15.00 per person. Event is sponsored by Humanities North Dakota in partnership with the Bismarck Historical Society.
