Minneapolis homicide detectives met for a couple hours today, trying to see if three homicides over the weekend -- the 32nd, 33rd, and 34th of the year -- are connected. The killings happened close in time and in place, and the victims -- only one of whom has been identified -- were all black men, apparently all in their twenties. Minnesota Public Radio's John Rabe went to the city's Powderhorn Community to find out what residents had to say about the weekend violence.
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.
