Wildfire Talks: Ghost of a Chance
Thursday, Oct. 23 • 7 p.m.
House of Hope Fellowship Hall, 4800 Boone Ave, New Hope
Join Star Tribune reporter Eric Roper and producer Melissa Townsend for a conversation about Ghost of a Chance—the story of how researching a 113-year-old Minneapolis home led to uncovering the lives of Harry and Clementine Robinson and a revelatory chapter of the city’s racial history.
Why it matters here: this Minneapolis story has metro-wide resonance—how our region’s past is woven into the houses, streets, and systems that shaped today’s suburbs, and how those histories inform ongoing conversations about belonging and equity in our community.
The evening includes an open Q&A. Want to listen ahead? Use the QR code on the flyer or visit https://www.startribune.com/ghost-of-a-chance/601197355 to find episodes, discussion guides, and archival materials.
