Justice Alan Page and his daughter Kamie joined us for a delightful conversation about their latest children's book, "Baking Up Love." This heartwarming story celebrates the special bond between a young girl and her grandfather as they bake cupcakes together.  Justice Alan Page has certainly accomplished a lot in his life. He is a member of the NFL Hall Of Fame, a former Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. But he shared that the true joys come from the time he spends with his grandchildren. "There is nothing else like it in the world," he said, describing the "exponentially more fun, more warm, more heartwarming" experience of being a grandparent.  Kamie chimed in, explaining how her dad engages with his grandkids in all sorts of activities, from book clubs to board games. This intergenerational connection is at the core of "Baking Up Love" and the family's other children's books, which they create as a fundraiser for the Page Educational Foundation. Established by Justice Alan and his wife Diane in 1988, the foundation provides scholarships and mentorship to students of color in Minnesota. Kamie shared how the program's "Page scholars" don't just receive funding, but also give back by volunteering with younger students in their communities. It's a beautiful cycle of paying it forward. Throughout the conversation, the Pages emphasized the importance of reading, creativity, and quality time with loved ones - whether they're grandparents, parents, or even "grand friends" in the community. Their passion for empowering youth and celebrating family shines through in both their philanthropic work and their delightful children's books. If you're looking to inspire the young readers in your life, be sure to check out "Baking Up Love" and the other titles from Justice Alan Page and Kamie Page. It's a tasty treat for the whole family!

The Far Middle episode 88 honors defensive great Alan Page, the anchor of the Minnesota Vikings’ famous “Purple People Eaters” defensive line. Nick reflects on Page’s unique life story, “a story that oozes excellence through every chapter.” For more on the Purple People Eaters, check out where the Vikings’ defense ranks on Nick’s list of “The Ten Greatest NFL Defenses in the Super Bowl Era.”Nick begins this episode’s connections by noting Page is a prominent catholic, and most prominent Catholics look to the Pope for guidance and leadership. Nick says unfortunately the Vatican is at it again with its calls to Catholics to stop investing in companies or industries that the Church views as immoral.Nick contrasts the Vatican’s views on renewable energy investments with their view on investing in natural gas companies, as well as agricultural firms that use genetic science. “The Vatican’s recommendations are the exact opposite that science and logic dictate, it’s unbelievable that an institution that exists to provide moral guidance can have its moral compass be so fundamentally broken,” says Nick.The Vatican is adrift in a sea of distraction, much like the United Nations and its ocean of accords and treatises. Nick proceeds to examine the latest UN accord signed by nearly 200 nations, who’ve agreed to conserve 30 percent of their land, inland waterways, and coastal and ocean areas. Moreover, he looks at where the land conservation funding will come from, and the impact of such an accord on the poor and developing world. Nick then discusses environmentalism and climate change being used to justify the transfer of wealth from the developed world to the developing world, or from one unfavored class to the favored class.Nick summarizes that collectively the Vatican’s “faith-consistent investing,” UN accords, and forced value appropriation like the EU’s “solidarity contributions” all translate to lowering quality of life and should be exposed for their flaws.In closing, Nick celebrates the late, great Eddie Van Halen in conjunction with his birthday. Nick lists the best guitar-driven works by Eddie on each Van Halen album, from Eruption to Outta Space.

When Alan Page was a justice on the Minnesota Supreme Court he didn't decorate his chamber with Vikings memorabilia.  Instead, there was an old railroad sign on the wall that said “Colored Waiting Room.”  It was a constant and jarring reminder of Jim Crow era segregation. That sign is in the private collection of the Page family, along with thousands of other pieces of art and artifacts of slavery and segregation. Together, the objects tell the story of Black history — the ugly and the beautiful.   Justice Page and his late wife Diane Sims Page collected pieces for decades.  Many pieces are hateful, including an iron collar that locked slaves in bondage and a branding iron that marked human beings as someone's property. Other items are inspiring, like the painting of a jazz trio and a poster of Black runners competing in the 1972 Olympics.   In 2018, part of the collection was shared with the public in the exhibition “Testify: Americana from Slavery to Today.” Now the exhibit is returning to the Cargill Gallery at the Minneapolis Central Library, opening on February 1, along with a series of programs and events. Bianca Wilcox Former Minnesota Supreme Court Justice and NFL Hall of Famer Alan Page (left), his daughter Georgi Page-Smith and his late wife Diane Sims Page at the exhibit "TESTIFY: Americana from Slavery to Today". MPR News Host Angela Davis talks with former Justice Alan Page and his daughter Georgi Page-Smith about how they hope the exhibit will spark conversations about America's painful racist history and how we can address it.  Guests: Alan Page was a star defensive lineman for the Minnesota Vikings in the 1970s who went on to serve 22 years as a justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court. Georgi Page-Smith is Alan Page's daughter and a marketing and communications professional based in Brooklyn. She's also director of the Diane and Alan Page Collection and has been deeply involved in bringing the “Testify” exhibit back to the public. Kerem Yücel | MPR News MPR News Host Angela Davis talks with Alan Page talks about how they hope the exhibit "TESTIFY: Americana from Slavery to Today" will spark conversations about America's painful racist history. Here are six key moments from the conversation. The following transcript has been edited for length and clarity. Click the audio player above to listen to the full conversation. What do you remember about the beginning of the art collection? Alan Page: My late wife Diane is the heart and soul of it. She's the one that began it. She's the one that collected most of it. I got to go along for the ride. She had an incredible eye for the art and artifacts from our history. She started with an item here and an item there and started going to antique shops. We ended up finding things all over the country. In the beginning, there was no design or reason or rhyme to it all, but my wife would collect artifacts that struck her, that spoke to her sense of justice, fairness or unfairness. I opened the collection to the public because we live in a time when social justice and racial justice are at the forefront. We thought it was important for people to understand and see where we've come from. Georgi Page-Smith: In the beginning, I was not pleased, I was uncomfortable. I think the pieces are uncomfortable for a lot of people, but then it's important to go beyond that. It took me a while to see that important part of my context and our story. We had a very open floor plan for a modern home. I loved it, it was very contemporary. Then at some point, little things started appearing like figurines and tchotchkes. That's how I viewed it then. There's always another layer to the story and I wasn't seeing it because I didn't want to be part of that conversation. Tell us about the return of the exhibit in Minnesota Georgi Page-Smith: It's identical to the exhibit that we did in 2018, there have been some discoveries since then. It is free and there is a pop-up version that will be displayed in the Main St. Cloud Library in St. Cloud, Minn. and then within that regional library system, they're going to travel it around. However, the main exhibit will be located at the Cargill Gallery at the Minneapolis Central Library. It is the perfect location, it's very accessible and open to the public. You enter the gallery, and you'll see a greeting from our family. Then you'll see the White House brick that was made by enslaved people as part of the construction of the White House. Then you'll come in and you'll see the Lincoln banner, and then at some point, you'll come to a wall with a Jim Crow era sign on it. We decided to give people the opportunity to experience that moment of segregation and separation. As it continues, there's a section devoted to labor, and a section devoted to home. There are objects of oppression and objects of expression. These are fundamental pieces of our country and its history. Alan Page: The Abraham Lincoln banner is made of fabric, it is maybe two and a half feet wide by roughly three feet tall on a pole, with what he calls a pig oil lamp on top. We were told that it was from the funeral in 1865, but it may have been from 1864 as part of his campaign for reelection. On one side, it says “Uncle Abe, we will not forget you” and on the other side, it says, “our country shall be one country”. That saying for me sets out the hope that there was at the time of the Civil War. It's the hope that we haven't fulfilled today. This object is from that time period and when you are in its presence it is palpable. Steve Karnowski | AP 2018 Alan Page, NFL Hall of Famer and retired Minnesota Supreme Court justice, looks at a display which is among the artifacts of slavery and segregation collected by Page and his wife, Diane Sims Page. Your collection has a lot of signs from the Jim Crow era of segregation. What does it represent to you? Alan Page: I had a number of them there. We also had a fantastic picture of a scene from the entrance of a bus. Looking at the back of the bus, you could see that the white people were allowed to sit and the African Americans were required to sit. It made it clear to me that the law has not always been fair, and those artifacts were a constant reminder that my obligation to serve on the court was to ensure fairness for everyone. No matter who they were, their circumstances, the color of their skin, their gender, their preferences, or what part of the state they came from, everyone was entitled to a just result. What was the response to the exhibition from people in 2018?  Georgi Page-Smith: It was overwhelming. We had no idea how great the response would be, or how many people would turn out. It was a record-breaking success for the Cargill gallery. But more than that, people were moved. We had a book made by a Hasidic bookbinder in New York that was open for people to write their reflections. We got so many great stories, some of which ended up online. But also, as we watched people go through the exhibit, we saw a lot of people shaking their heads in disbelief. We've heard about these things in our history books and in school, but it's a much different thing to actually be in the realm and be in the presence of a shackle that was actually placed around a child's neck. Alan Page: Part of our hope in doing the exhibit back in 2018 was to generate conversation, and to move people to action. From almost the very beginning, on the days that Diane was down in the gallery, people would come up and talk about their memories. A lot of people who grew up in Minnesota had heard about many of these things but never experienced them. Having found themselves in the room with objects from that era, gave them a new understanding, and the sense that they had a role to play in. The name of the exhibit is Testify, and this was a place where people could testify in real-time, as they were viewing the exhibit. Why was ‘testify' chosen as the appropriate name for the exhibit?  Georgi Page-Smith: Originally, the exhibit had a different location, and they were still looking for a name. I suggested different things, but then at one point, I had been listening to the song “Testify” by Common, and that word really stuck in my head. As we developed the thoughts about the exhibit, I suggested we call it “testify” because of both of my dad's time on the court and also thinking about the black church. I've been lucky enough to attend the church over the course of years, and you see and feel the power of someone testifying and telling their story and how they came through. I also thought it was a way to invite everyone into the conversation. Tell us about the upcoming series of community events with the exhibition Georgi Page-Smith: We're calling it “Testify Tuesdays” and it's a series of workshops in partnership with a local group called Change narrative. Josefina Harris is an amazing facilitator, who has worked on a national level and we've brought her on board along with the ACLU of Minnesota and a loft literary center. They are all going to be facilitating these workshops every week. Seven out of the eight weeks will be at the library and one of the weeks will be virtual because there was a scheduling conflict. These will be workshops to coach and support people in developing their stories in the service of advocacy. For whatever purpose or initiative or cause that they feel is relevant to them. We want to help them develop their voice and tell their story to elected officials. There will be a group facilitating the workshop, then every individual who participates in the workshop will be given some prompts, and then the workshop facilitators will help them come up with some prompts that might tell their story. Alan Page: At the end of the day, it's giving people a voice to testify and to express themselves. In the courtroom, for instance, you come in, you're sworn in, and you tell your story. This is the same thing only it helps people learn how to tell their story in whatever context they want to tell it. One thing we should be very clear about, there is no particular agenda to this, the subject matter is individual. Your stories related to race Listeners called into the show and shared their stories. Here are a couple of them. Grandmother and grandsons aim to discover family history I was at the 2018 showing and I couldn't believe some of the pieces that were there. It really showed the brutality and the inhumanity. I look forward to going through the exhibit again so I can see other parts that may be that hope. It was horrific and shocking but I'm so grateful that there is a collection for us to see. I've been raising three grandsons who are reaching young adulthood, who are Black, and I would love this next time to be able to take them to see it. I believe there's a very good chance that there was slavery in their history, we haven't found a way to find that out yet. Our family came from the south and I'm just wondering how they got there. — Brenda from Woodbury Man remembers a racist experience in South VA. My whole family was raised in Milwaukee, Wis. During that period, we weren't aware of what was happening. Then my dad got transferred down to Southern Virginia. I was three years old. When my grandma came down to visit, she wanted to take me back home on the train, while sitting in the train station I still vividly remember a lit-up sign above a doorway of a separate room. I kept asking my grandma: What's that word say? because at age three you don't know how to read, and she kept trying to avoid it. She finally just yelled out: “it just says colored”, and I said: “well, what's colored?” Because I thought colored meant to take your crayons and color something. But then she said: “hush-hush, just hush”. I don't think she wanted to tell me the real reason at that young age, and I'm glad she didn't. — Terry from St. Louis Park Subscribe to the MPR News with Angela Davis podcast on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or RSS.

We had no idea how great the response would be, or how many people would turn out. It was a record-breaking success for the Cargill gallery. But more than that, people were moved. We had a book made by a Hasidic bookbinder in New York that was open for people to write their reflections. We got so many great stories, some of which ended up online. But also, as we watched people go through the exhibit, we saw a lot of people shaking their heads in disbelief. We've heard about these things in our history books and in school, but it's a much different thing to actually be in the realm and be in the presence of a shackle that was actually placed around a child's neck.Alan Page: Part of our hope in doing the exhibit back in 2018 was to generate conversation, and to move people to action. From almost the very beginning, on the days that Diane was down in the gallery, people would come up and talk about their memories. A lot of people who grew up in Minnesota had heard about many of these things but never experienced them. Having found themselves in the room with objects from that era, gave them a new understanding, and the sense that they had a role to play in. The name of the exhibit is Testify, and this was a place where people could testify in real-time, as they were viewing the exhibit.Why was ‘testify' chosen as the appropriate name for the exhibit? Georgi Page-Smith: Originally, the exhibit had a different location, and they were still looking for a name. I suggested different things, but then at one point, I had been listening to the song “Testify” by Common, and that word really stuck in my head. As we developed the thoughts about the exhibit, I suggested we call it “testify” because of both of my dad's time on the court and also thinking about the black church. I've been lucky enough to attend the church over the course of years, and you see and feel the power of someone testifying and telling their story and how they came through. I also thought it was a way to invite everyone into the conversation.Tell us about the upcoming series of community events with the exhibitionGeorgi Page-Smith: We're calling it “Testify Tuesdays” and it's a series of workshops in partnership with a local group called Change Narrative. Josthna Harris is an amazing facilitator, who has worked on a national level and we've brought her on board along with the ACLU of Minnesota and the Loft Literary Center. They are all going to be facilitating these workshops every week. Seven out of the eight weeks will be at the library and one of the weeks will be virtual because there was a scheduling conflict.These will be workshops to coach and support people in developing their stories in the service of advocacy. For whatever purpose or initiative or cause that they feel is relevant to them. We want to help them develop their voice and tell their story to elected officials. There will be a group facilitating the workshop, then every individual who participates in the workshop will be given some prompts, and then the workshop facilitators will help them come up with some prompts that might tell their story.Alan Page: At the end of the day, it's giving people a voice to testify and to express themselves. In the courtroom, for instance, you come in, you're sworn in, and you tell your story. This is the same thing only it helps people learn how to tell their story in whatever context they want to tell it. One thing we should be very clear about, there is no particular agenda to this, the subject matter is individual.Your stories related to raceListeners called into the show and shared their stories. Here are a couple of them.Grandmother and grandsons aim to discover family historyI was at the 2018 showing and I couldn't believe some of the pieces that were there. It really showed the brutality and the inhumanity. I look forward to going through the exhibit again so I can see other parts that may be that hope. It was horrific and shocking but I'm so grateful that there is a collection for us to see. I've been raising three grandsons who are reaching young adulthood, who are Black, and I would love this next time to be able to take them to see it. I believe there's a very good chance that there was slavery in their history, we haven't found a way to find that out yet. Our family came from the south and I'm just wondering how they got there.— Brenda from WoodburyMan remembers a racist experience in South VA.My whole family was raised in Milwaukee, Wis. During that period, we weren't aware of what was happening. Then my dad got transferred down to Southern Virginia. I was three years old. When my grandma came down to visit, she wanted to take me back home on the train, while sitting in the train station I still vividly remember a lit-up sign above a doorway of a separate room. I kept asking my grandma: What's that word say? because at age three you don't know how to read, and she kept trying to avoid it. She finally just yelled out: “it just says colored”, and I said: “well, what's colored?” Because I thought colored meant to take your crayons and color something. But then she said: “hush-hush, just hush”. I don't think she wanted to tell me the real reason at that young age, and I'm glad she didn't.— Terry from St. Louis ParkSubscribe to the MPR News with Angela Davis podcast on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or RSS.

Our guest today, Brandon Copeland is an NFL player, but he's also so much more than that. He most recently played for our local team, the Atlanta Falcons, last season but he's won the Alan Page award for community service and we find his off-the-field activities even more fascinating. He runs a non-profit football camp called Beyond the Basics that not only teaches kids the technical skills of being a great football player, but also helps them to reach their full potential off of the field as well. He has a financial literacy course called Life 101 that he teaches at the University of Pennsylvania. He has a couple of real estate companies that he runs with his wife as well- it's safe to say that Brandon is truly an entrepreneur! We talk about personal finances in the NFL, resisting the cultural pull to consume, setting our kids up for success, and much more in today's episode.   Want more How To Money in your life?

In today's episode, Host Tom Loarie interviews two stand-out mentors—Justice Alan Page in the first half of the show and Mike McCoy in the second half of the show—both are University of Notre Dame (UND) football and Professional National Football League greats dedicated to building our future by helping to influence and shape today's youth in positive ways. (scroll to bottom of post to listen to this episode, or subscribe to podcast here--on any podcast platform) First, Tom talks with Retired Justice Alan Page, who is the first African American to serve on Minnesota's State Supreme Court, a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and who played with the Minnesota Vikings, was named 1971 MVP in the National Football League, is a member of both the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the College Football Hall of Fame, and a member of UND's 1966 national championship team. In the second half of the show Tom talks with Mike McCoy, former defensive tackle with the Green Bay Packers. You'll learn why both of these influential men are focused now on building a future with America's youth, inspiring them to be all that they can be and to lead their best lives. SHOW NOTES: JUSTICE ALAN PAGE: FOUNDATION: PAGE EDUCATION FOUNDATION (page-ed.org)BIO & BOOKS: (below) Alan C. Page was born August 7, 1945, in Canton, Ohio.  He graduated from Canton Central Catholic High School in 1963, and received his B.A. in political science from the University of Notre Dame in 1967 and his J.D. from the University of Minnesota Law School in 1978. After graduating from law school, Alan Page worked as an attorney for a law firm in Minneapolis, then served seven years as an attorney in the office of the Minnesota Attorney General. He sought election to the Minnesota Supreme Court in 1992 and won, becoming the first African American on the court and one of the few associate justices ever to join the court initially through election, rather than appointment by the governor.   When Justice Page was reelected in 1998, he became the biggest vote-getter in Minnesota history. He was reelected in 2004 and 2010 and served until he reached the mandatory retirement age of 70 in 2015. Law was Alan Page's second career; he was first known for his skills in football both in college and in the NFL.  At Notre Dame, Alan Page led the school's storied football program to the 1966 national championship, and in 1993 he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Alan Page was a first-round draft choice of the Minnesota Vikings in 1967 and he played for the Vikings until 1978. The last three years of his football career were with the Chicago Bears, 1978–1981. During his career, Alan Page played in 218 consecutive games, earning All-Pro honors six times, and was voted to nine consecutive Pro Bowls. In 1971 he was named the NFL's Most Valuable Player, becoming only the second defensive player in history to be named MVP. In 1988 Alan Page was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In November 2018, Justice Page received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In 2019 he was chosen as a member of the NFL's 100th Anniversary All-Time Team. BOOKS: Justice Page and his daughter, Kamie Page, have written four children's picture books: Alan and His Perfectly Pointy Impossibly Perpendicular Pinky (2013) The Invisible You (2014) Grandpa Alan's Sugar Shack (2017) Bee Love (Can Be Hard) (2020) __________________________ SECOND HALF OF SHOW: __________________ MIKE McCOY: MIKE'S WORK WITH YOUTH: MIKE McCOY MINISTRIES (https://mccoy77.com/)BIO: (below) Mike McCoy is a native of Erie, Pennsylvania and a graduate of Cathedral Prep High School.  He graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a BA in Economics where he played football and was a Consensus All-American. He was chosen UPI Lineman of the year and was sixth in the Heisman Trophy balloting his senior year.

The first people to call this land home often named their surroundings by using descriptions of what those natural resources looked like. Names we use today for Minnesota waters and lands come from Ojibwe and Dakota people. Cultural observers say how we treat names reflect the barriers Indigenous communities — and Minnesotans of color generally — encounter to be fully seen in society. “Our language is very visual. It's descriptive,” said Kate Beane, who is Dakota and holds a doctoral degree in American Studies. “It is something that you can close your eyes and really sort of see through the eyes of those who came before us.” Beane is a descendant of people who were removed from Minnesota by U.S. soldiers to the Flandreau Santee reservation in South Dakota in the 1860s. A public historian as well as the executive director of the Minnesota Museum of American Art, Beane thinks deeply about what place names contain. “The way that I was taught is that ‘Minnesota' is a reflection of the sky on the water,” she said. “And it's sort of that reflection, which is why oftentimes it gets translated as cloudy water, clear water, it depends on the weather.” Evan Frost | MPR News 2020 Kate Beane sits for a portrait at the public art site on the shores of Bde Maka Ska honoring Maḣpiya Wicaṡṭa (Cloud Man) and Ḣeyata Ọtuŋwe (Village to the side), the Dakota leader and community that inhabited this area in the 19th century, on Nov. 16, 2020. European fur trappers and explorers would often ask residents what a lake or river was called. Beane is not sure if some titles are names, directions to a place or descriptions of food found there. As Europeans settled in large numbers they often changed those names. Beane said the renaming is just part of the larger process of erasing Native culture. That's reflected in how many Dakota names are mispronounced or anglicized. “But they [English versions] are actually harder for us to pronounce as Dakota people because they are mispronunciations,” she said. Some names of cities and landmarks like Nicollet, New Ulm and New Prague are pronounced differently than the European languages spoken by early immigrants and explorers. Naming is tied closely to the history of colonization and oppression of Indigenous people, Beane said. In 2015, Beane and others led an effort to return Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis to its Dakota name Bde Maka Ska which means white earth lake. Beane said opponents seemed to be more angry about who was leading the reclamation effort than about the name itself.  She said they were called ‘militant Dakota' who were trying to take away the lake. The restoration effort was successful, Beane said, in part because the Indigenous community and its allies worked together. She recalls Minneapolis park board hearings where members of the Somali community came to advocate for a stop sign near a park where their children played. These Somali neighbors also voiced their support for Bde Maka Ska. Changing values George Dornbach | MPR News 2017 A painted mural in the halls of then-Ramsey Middle School reads, “Rename Ramsey” as students and teachers campaigned to change the name of their school, June 9, 2017. “We are certainly seeing an acceleration of this idea of reclaiming space and of changing names to reflect changing values,” said William Convery, director of research at the Minnesota Historical Society. “In Minnesota, it's played out from everything from the movement to reclaim the name of Bde Maka Ska to renaming middle schools and high schools named after Minnesota governors who were involved in Native American extermination,” said Convery. Following a student led-effort, the Minneapolis school board in 2017 agreed to remove the name of former governor Alexander Ramsey from a middle school and honor Alan Page, the former Minnesota Viking who became the first African American to sit on the state's supreme court. Ramsey called for the driving of the Dakota people out of Minnesota in the 1860s. Last year, Henry Sibley High School, named after the state's first governor, changed its name to Two Rivers high school for similar reasons. The debates and discussions over the use of historical names or of derogatory terms for places and things in Minnesota is not unique to the state, nor is it new. In 1995, after a campaign by northern Minnesota students the state prohibited applying a derogatory word for an Indigenous woman to geographic place names. Despite this, a town in Itasca county still goes by the slur. Until 1977, two Minnesota lakes bore a racial epithet aimed at Black people. Indigenous activists in Minnesota have also been at the vanguard of efforts to eliminate the use of Native American mascots for sports teams. As people in southern states forced some symbols of the Confederacy and white supremacy be removed from public places, Convery said Minnesotans are considering how names of the past no longer reflect modern sensibilities. “So in some ways, these names are always changing and we're always updating our values and thinking about the way we name things in order to reflect those values,” said Convery. ‘Say his name!' Brandon Bell | Getty Images 2020 Anna Barber fixes a tombstone in the Say Their Names Cemetery on June 19, 2020, in Minneapolis. While protests followed nearly every police killing in Minneapolis over the last 10 years, they did not match the intensity of the global response to the murder by Derek Chauvin of George Floyd, a handcuffed Black man who begged the officer to let him up so he could breathe. The chant, “say his name, George Floyd” resounded through the streets of Minneapolis and in cities across the world. “Mr. Floyd harkens to a particular, deeper history,” said Rose Brewer, a sociologist and a distinguished teaching professor of African American studies at the University of Minnesota. Brewer said repeating Floyd's name recalls so many other African Americans killed by Minneapolis police officers. “But it also, from my perspective, harks to the push for us to place that in the broader Minnesota context.” That context, said Brewer, is that Minnesota has not always lived up to the progressive image that social liberals aspire to. Racial disparities in health care, employment, housing, education, as well as the criminal justice system have long disadvantaged Black residents. In response to Floyd's killing, community members closed down the intersection of 38th and Chicago where he took his last breaths under Chauvin's knee. Though the area has since reopened to traffic, it has retained the name George Floyd Square. The square continues to draw people. Brewer believes George Floyd Square is important for several reasons. It is a place where people come together to push for social and political change. “But also, how can you not have a memorial of sorts that recognizes a heinous, but powerful, emblematic expression of structural racism, of institutional racism?” Brewer said.

This is a team that had six future hall of fame players on it– On defense they had Alan Page, Carl Eller and Paul Krause– and on offense they had Fran Tarkenton, Ron Yary and Mick Tinglehoff. Yet during this 11 year span, the Vikings reached the post season 10 times, and lost every time. In 1968 they lost their playoff game to the Colts, but they bounced back the following year with perhaps their best team ever. They finished the regular season with a 12-2 record, and they outscored their opponents 379-133, and scored over 50 points three times. After defeating the Rams in the playoff game and the Browns in the NFL title game, they rode into the Superbowl with a 14-2 record. They were heavy favorites to defeat the AFL Champion Kansas City Chiefs, but they lost 23-7.......

John Turney and Nick Webster made headlines this summer with the release of their sack-crediting statistics for the 1960 to 1981 NFL seasons. Their exhaustive research — including countless hours of viewing of priceless NFL game film — yielded many surprising results and long-overdue credit for iconic NFL stars like Deacon Jones, Jack Younglood, Alan Page, Al "Bubba" Baker and the Steel Curtain. John gives a behind-the-scenes look into the leg work that produced these eye-opening sack results, as well as his take on: • The usage of 3-4, nickel and dime defenses throughout the eras • The "what ifs" of the NFL vs. the AFL and legendary vs. contemporary players • Current NFL issues John's blog, Pro Football Journal: https://nflfootballjournal.blogspot.com/ The Professional Football Researchers Association: https://profootballresearchers.org/ The Sports Reference announcement of inclusion of the unofficial 1960-1981 NFL sack statistics on Pro Football Reference: https://www.sports-reference.com/blog/2021/07/pre-1982-sacks-added-to-pro-football-reference/ The official Pro Football Reference entry on the 1960-1981 sack research results: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/sacks_single_season.htm?sr&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=Share&utm_campaign=ShareTool#sacks_all_leaders How John and Nick's research shed light on the sack performances of the 1970s Pittsburgh Steelers: https://steelersnow.com/new-pre-1982-sack-research-puts-steel-curtains-accomplishments-into-new-perspective/ https://steelersdepot.com/2021/07/ever-wondered-how-many-sacks-the-steel-curtain-had-now-we-know/ https://steelerswire.usatoday.com/2021/07/13/steelers-nfl-sacks-2021-lc-greenwood-joe-greene/ The APBA Football Club's/APBA Football Handbook gallery of 1970s Topps football cards indicating team sack leaders: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=105036975104536&set=a.133353258939574 Al "Bubba" Baker's PFR page (his 1978 APBA Football rookie card gives him 5 points and a J-0 injury grade; Al ends up unofficially as the single-season NFL sack leader with 23): https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BakeAl00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-

For this episode we wanted to highlight Black History Month and spotlight someone who has been a leader as a person of color and has worked to make the world a more equal and better place to live.  Justice Alan Page is someone who both physically and academically has reached the pinnacle of the professions he has pursued in life.  The Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee made his mark on the gridiron playing for 15 seasons, reaching 4 Super Bowls and winning the NFL's MVP award in 1971.  We hear his thoughts on athletes using their platform to speak out on topics of social injustice and the importance of his hall of fame speech from 1988.  It's what he has done after his career and off the field that has been most impressive.  While playing for the Minnesota Vikings, Justice Page attended the University of Minnesota and graduated from the law school there in 1978.  After retirement he became a lawyer and then was the first African-American justice elected to the Minnesota Supreme Court and served for 22 years.  We discuss the thing that Justice Page believes is most important to aid in equality for people of color and that is education.  He and his late wife Diane started the Page Education Foundation in 1988 which helps to financially support students of color and their academic goals while fostering positive mentor relationships and encouraging role models for children.  In it's 33 years of existence the foundation has awarded over $16 million in grants to nearly 8,000 students in Minnesota.  Justice Page also highlights the newly proposed "Page Amendment" that he is hoping passes through state legislature that he believes will help close the education gap in MN for students of color and that focuses on a quality education for all children.  Enjoy this conversation in the Bare's Den with NFL Hall of Famer - Justice Alan Page.
