  • Minnesota allows window visits at long-term care facilities

    Jun 16, 2020

    For residents of Minnesota's senior care facilities, one of the most wrenching aspects of the pandemic has been their extreme isolation from loved ones. Since late March, visitors have been all but banned from nursing homes and assisted-living facilities across the state. Family members have been forced to leave care packages outside locked doors and wave at residents from a distance. Many have been forced to limit visits to remote video feeds. "It has been utterly heartbreaking," said Jean...

  • Civil rights law protects LGBT workers, Supreme Court rules

    Jun 16, 2020

    WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court ruled Monday that a landmark civil rights law protects gay, lesbian and transgender people from discrimination in employment, a resounding victory for LGBT rights from a conservative court. The court decided by a 6-3 vote that a key provision of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 known as Title VII that bars job discrimination because of sex, among other reasons, encompasses bias against LGBT workers. "An employer who fires an individual for being homosexual or...

  • East Phillips neighborhood group sues city to stop Minneapolis project over concerns for residents of color

    Jun 16, 2020

    A Minneapolis community nonprofit is suing the city to stop the development of a project it believes will disproportionately harm the health of people of color. The East Phillips Neighborhood Institute, Inc. filed suit Friday in Hennepin County District Court against the city and the Minneapolis Public Works Department over the Hiawatha Campus Expansion Project. The city decided that an assessment to evaluate the project’s environmental impact was not necessary, and violated state and federal laws by failing to apply for construction permits w...

  • Police reform debate showcases strength of Minnesota legislators of color

    Jun 16, 2020

    The Minnesota Legislature was once a lonely place for state Rep. Rena Moran. After her election in 2010, the St. Paul Democrat was the only black woman serving in the 134-member state House. Just seven of 201 state lawmakers identified as minorities. "It was taxing," she said. "We [were] trying to represent communities of color's voices through legislative policy and practice and that can get lost in a body of 134 individuals." By 2017, the share of lawmakers from communities of color had...

    Jun 16, 2020

    [St. Paul, MN] Today is an important day for civil rights.

The decision today by the U.S. Supreme Court echoed this fundamental right,” said Minneso...

  • Cherokee Nation Removes Confederate Monuments in Oklahoma

    Jun 16, 2020

    TAHLEQUAH, Okla. (AP) — The Cherokee Nation has removed two confederate monuments from its Capitol Square that were erected nearly a century ago by the Daughters of the Confederacy. A crane removed the monuments from the nation’s tribal headquarters in Tahlequah on Saturday as Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin, Jr., watched. “It’s difficult to tell our story when we have non-Indian-driven monuments talking about the Confederacy, when they greet people as they come into our Cherokee Nation museum," Hoskin said in a statement. “It was time for a cha...

  • West Orange To Remove Columbus Monument Amid Fierce Debate

    Jun 16, 2020

A pair of petitions – one demanding its removal and another urging its preservation – each gathered hundreds of signatures. Recently, someone hung a sign reading "Murderer" around the 5-f...
