## Resource

What happens when a vibrant community is physically divided by a highway, yet refuses to let its spirit be broken? On this episode of SO Saint Paul, we hear from Charmin Michelle and Dan Chouinard, two of the lovely and talented musicians starring in Rondo '56 at St. Paul's History Theater. hrough the lens of the play, we explore how the Rondo community was affected by the construction of Interstate 94. Charmin shares her fresh perspective as a newcomer to the production, and Dan shares his experience of discovering Rondo's legacy through heartfelt interactions with local elders and musicians. Together, they reveal how the play weaves music, storytelling, and historical imagery to honor Rondo’s resilience against systemic racism. Listen in as we discuss the barriers faced by Black individuals in finding housing and how the Rondo community thrived despite adversity. The performers of "Rondo 56" bring these stories to life, with emotional depth and authenticity, creating a space for dialogue and shared memories. https://www.historytheatre.com/rondo-56
