12 June: Iron & Steel in WW II, The Arsenal of Democracy Pam Brunfelt, historian and professor, Vermillion College,  returns to Unlimited Learning, June 12, 1:30 -3:30, Heartwood Senior Living Center to trace the impact of iron ore and steel from Lend Lease through the end of  WWII.  In fact, the “Arsenal of Democracy” was the 400 million tons of steel desperately needed between 1941 and 1945 which Minnesota miners of the Lake Superior Mining District dug and shipped to the ore docks in Two Harbors, Duluth and Superior.  Dock workers worked around the clock to load the ore boats so this precious metal could be quickly delivered to the steel plants.  The actions of these miners prove once again that the people of Northeastern Minnesota were at the center of American History.
Ms. Brunfelt is the foremost expert on Iron Range history, a teacher at Vermilion College in Ely and an inspiring speaker. Most recently she was co-lead humanities scholar for ‘Building America: Minnesota’s Iron Range, U.S. Industrialization, and the Creation of a World Power’, sponsored by National Endowment Landmarks for the Humanities project for K-12 teachers throughout the United States.  
The result of the Landmarks seminars was a documentary in which Brunfelt appeared.   Iron Range: Minnesota Building America, won 2009 regional Emmy for “Best Cultural Documentary.”
This program is sponsored by Unlimited Learning and kicks off our 2012 membership drive with discounted fees from June through August. The public is welcome. For non members the fee is $6.00.
