"It was on July 18, 2000, that Israel (Izzy) Asper, the renowned Canadian business person and philanthropist, first discussed his idea of building a human rights centre in Winnipeg. His goal was to create a museum that would help educate and inspire visitors to take personal responsibility for the advancement of human rights. Miracle at the Forks recounts the fourteen-year odyssey of making Izzy Asper's dream a reality. It describes the financial and political challenges of building Canada's fifth National Museum, an objective that was made all the more difficult by Asper's death in 2003. Written by acclaimed non-fiction writers Peter C. Newman and Allan Levine, Miracle at the Forks also tells the story of the creation of the museum itself, of the development of its unique content, the international competition to find a world class architect, and of Antoine Predock, the architect who dared build a museum that is as remarkable in its construction as Izzy Asper's dream was in its audacity."
