A popular Guthrie Actress is taking on a new role as a Children's book author. Isabelle Monk's first book, "Hope" looks at what its like to grow up as a bi-racial child. The story started out as a Christmas gift for her friend's new baby. Monk wanted the child to grow up feeling pround of her mixed heritage. She drew pictures for her story, had the pages laminated at kinkos, and wrapped it up in Christmas ribbon.
In 2008, Minnesota's voters passed the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to the Minnesota Constitution: to protect drinking water sources; to protect, enhance, and restore wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat; to preserve arts and cultural heritage; to support parks and trails; and to protect, enhance, and restore lakes, rivers, streams, and groundwater.
Efforts to digitize this initial assortment of thousands of historical audio material was made possible through the Minnesota Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. A wide range of Minnesota subject matter is represented within this collection.
