In person. Free. We’ve heard the expression “Irish Need Not Apply,” but what was it like in the mid- and late-19th century when Irish immigrants came to Minnesota, specifically, St. Paul, to seek employment? Were the Irish able to transfer the skills from their homeland to work opportunities here? This program captures Irish immigrant employment – its challenges and opportunities – at a time when the Irish were trying to gain a foothold in a new land. Hosted by Jane Kennedy.
