Reminds me that I still have a doctoral thesis on African American migration to Minnesota from the Civil War to the 1930s. There was a sizeable black middle class that established itself early on. They even kept Birth of a Nation out of the Minnesota movie theaters.
Yeah, the Rondo neighborhood I've been researching is where the black community was centered. Then, of course, they put I-94 right through the middle of it.
