The son of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is in the Twin Cities today to mark his late father's birthday, and to spread a message of diversity. Martin Luther King THE THIRD is the second oldest of the four children of the late Dr. King and Coretta Scott King, and he continues to carry out his father's work in civil rights by leading "Americans United for Affirmative Action" based in Atlanta. I asked him what he thinks of the way America celebrates the holiday named in honor of his father.
In 2008, Minnesota's voters passed the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to the Minnesota Constitution: to protect drinking water sources; to protect, enhance, and restore wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat; to preserve arts and cultural heritage; to support parks and trails; and to protect, enhance, and restore lakes, rivers, streams, and groundwater.
Efforts to digitize this initial assortment of thousands of historical audio material was made possible through the Minnesota Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. A wide range of Minnesota subject matter is represented within this collection.
