We're continuing our in depth look into the countless instances of activism in our home state this week, exploring what made Minnesota into the protesting powerhouse it is today. We cover MN's involvement in the Civil Rights Movement and the Farmer Labor Party, as well as the tragic police killings of Jamar Clark and Philando Castile, both of which resulted in Minnesotans of all backgrounds deeply believing in the Black Lives Matter movement.
