St. Paul police are asking a group of protesters who have set up camp at Harriet Island to leave the park when it closes at 11 tonight. About 20 protesters with the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign hauled in a generator and mattresses into the park this afternoon. They're calling the encampment "Bushville." Organizer Tim Dowlin says he drove through the night from his home in Philadelphia to protest next week's Republican National Convention. And he says many more people are coming.
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.
