The Hallie Q. Brown Archive Project is a collaborative initiative that will serve as the hub of cultural and historical exchange for one of the Midwest’s most important loci of African American history. The collection, identification and documentation of the history HQB and the surrounding Rondo Community is among the primary goals and some of the fruits of this labor can be seen in the HQB Library with exhibits profiling the first African American families in Minnesota, the history of the organization and surrounding Rondo Community and the life of Ms. Hallie Quinn Brown.
