Courtney Ford Instagram – History has been sanitized. Please read this post by grief author and Minnesota native @noraborealis Repost @noraborealis: It’s 1931 in Minneapolis, MN when this photo is taken. Look at all these people! What could they be doing posing and smiling on this lawn at 46th and Columbus?⁠ ⁠ If you guessed that they were a racist mob harassing Edith and Arthur Lee, who purchased a home just a few blocks south of the neighborhood where black people were *supposed* to live, you are correct! The mob grew to over 4,000 violent people, who threw rocks and paint and yes, posed for this photo. ⁠ ⁠ These riots lasted MONTHS — MONTHS! — and they worked.

Generations later, you can still *see* the effects of this as you drive through the city. Those segregations are still in place.⁠ ⁠ Still, in Minnesota, black business owners are less likely to receive loans than *less qualified* white applicants.⁠ ⁠ Racism is structural, systemic, insidious. I’m a person whose family history in this city spans generations, and has received unearned generational benefits (a grandfather who used the GI bill to get a house without getting any shit, and started a business).⁠ ⁠ White people often want black people to justify or explain their anger. Don’t do that. Your approval is not needed. Your education is on you.⁠ ⁠ The University of Minnesota has a project called @mappingprejudice (where I myself learned the story of the Lees) and A Public History of 35W. The
