Lunch with the History People

When: Thursday, September 21, 2017, from noon – 1 PM

What: Susan Utech, Executive Director of Safe Haven Shelter and Resource Center, explains “The History of the Domestic Violence Movement in Duluth.” A local group created the model for responding to domestic violence that is used both nationally and worldwide. Resources were developed to aid victims of domestic abuse and provide assistance to legally protect them from their assailants. Over the years, these early efforts have further expanded to better assist victims so they can become survivors.

Where: The event will be held in the Ruth Maney Room on the first floor of the St. Louis County Heritage & Arts Center (the Depot), at 506 West Michigan Street, Duluth, Minnesota.

There will be limited theater-style seating (no tables), but feel free to bring your own bag lunch. Seating is first-come, first-served (no reservations). Admittance to this event is free to the public. ARCO coffee is provided.
