You wanna talk about looting in Saint Paul today? Talk about why they built 94 and the Midway Target where they did.
I say this for people outside the cities, especially fellow non-Black folks:
Every place this uprising has gone is deliberate and connected to the legacy of violence, looting, and murder the Twin Cities has inflicted on the Black community, among others. https://libguides.mnhs.org/rondo ">https://libguides.mnhs.org/rondo&quo...

"By the 1930s Rondo was the heart of St. Paul’s African American community... by the late 1950s this tight-knit community would be shattered by the construction of Interstate 94...1 in every 8 African Americans in St. Paul lost a home to I-94. Many businesses never re-opened."
