Roller Derby Finals, 1944
Laverne Emerson and Vera Minenko were local recruits for the Roller Derby Finals, held at the Minneapolis Auditorium starting July 3, 1944. They were members of the 10-skater Minneapolis team. A crowd of more than 6,000 saw Minneapolis take an 18-13 lead over St. Paul on opening night. The two teams were nose to nose for the nearly 3-week competition, but on the last night, St. Paul burst through, winning the championship with a one point lead, 366 to 365.
We last wrote about roller derby in 2014--check it out! And see more roller derby photos in the Hennepin County Library Digital Collections.

San Francisco, May 1979
out of all the people i’ve seen in the world the ones with the most swag are
roller skaters
eccentric librarians
plague doctors
people who dress victorian
frogs
that’s it. like have you ever seen a roller skater who didn’t look cool? have you ever seen someone wearing like some sort of old victorian getup and think, “ha. loser”. no, no you haven’t. because those types of people are literally the coolest to ever walk the earth and we can’t look directly at them.
