In Person Program:
May 1, 2025 6:30 pm Commemorate the Bicentennial of Norwegian Migration to America with us!
New Land, New Life: 1825-2025; A New Presentation by Lawrence Moe, PhD, Professor of English Emeritus, Metropolitan State University, Twin Cities, Minnesota
In this special presentation to commemorate the bicentennial of organized migration from Norway to America, Dr. Moe will first overview the remarkably rich history of our migration during these two centuries, giving special attention to the reasons so many Norwegians left their beautiful homeland for America, and then present and discuss a fascinating range of perspectives on our continuing efforts to preserve and appreciate Norwegian culture here in the United States.
This presentation had its genesis in the invitation from District One of the Sons of Norway for Dr. Moe to give the Keynote Address at their August 2024 convention. The convention theme focused on the bicentennial, including the title “New Land, New Life: 1825-2025.” Dr. Moe is honored to offer this presentation to you!
This meeting will be in person at Elim Lutheran Church at 3978 W Broadway Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55422
