Real estate accounts for 18% GDP and each home sale generates two jobs. It's a top priority for state officials and business leaders across the country to build stable communities. In Minnesota, efforts to address inequity that keeps people locked out of the property market are well-advanced. Lee sits down to interview those directly involved.TranscriptPart 3 – Action and AccountabilityLT GOV PEGGY FLANAGAN: An apology is powerful. But in the same way that I think things like land acknowledgements are powerful. If you don't have policies and investments to back them up, then they're simply words.You're listening to Unlocking The Gates, Episode 3.My name is Lee Hawkins. I'm a journalist and the author of the book I AM NOBODY'S SLAVE: How Uncovering My Family's History Set Me Free.I investigated 400 years of my Black family's history—how enslavement and Jim Crow apartheid in my father's home state of Alabama, the Great Migration to St. Paul, and our move to the suburbs shaped us.Community and collaboration are at the heart of this story. I've shared deeply personal accounts, we've explored historical records, and everyone we've spoken to has generously offered their memories and perspectives.Jackie Berry is a Board Member at Minneapolis Area Realtors. She's been working to address the racial wealth gap in real estate. And she says;JACKIE BERRY: We need to do better. We have currently, I think it's around 76% of white families own homes, and it's somewhere around 25-26% for black families.If we're talking about Minnesota, in comparison to other states, we are one of the worst with that housing disparity gap. And so, it's interesting, because while we have, while we make progress and we bring in new programs or implement new policies to help with this gap, we're still not seeing too big of a movement quite yet.Jackie says there's a pretty clear reason for this.JACKIE BERRY: Racial covenants had a direct correlation with the wealth gap that we have here today. Okay, if you think about a family being excluded from home ownership, that means now they don't have the equity within their home to help make other moves for their family, whether it's putting money towards education or by helping someone else purchase a home or reducing debt in other areas in their life.Racial covenants were not just discriminatory clauses—they were systemic barriers that shaped housing markets and entrenched inequality.LT GOV PEGGY FLANAGAN In my community of St Louis Park, there is, you know, there are several racial covenants. You know, our home does not have one, fortunately.Lieutenant governor Peggy Flanagan is the highest ranking Native American female politician in the country. I asked her about her experience and how it informs her leadership.LT GOV PEGGY FLANAGAN: I can tell you that I never forget that I'm a kid who benefited from a section eight housing voucher, and that my family buying a home made a dent in that number of native homeowners in this state, and I take that really seriously,LEE HAWKINS: You know? And it's powerful, because I relate to you on that. You know, this series is about just that, about the way that the system worked for a group of people of color who were just doing what everyone else wants to do, is to achieve the American Dream for their children. And so I see you getting choked up a little bit about that. I relate to that, and that's what this series is about.Homeownership is more than a marker of personal achievement—it's a cornerstone of the U.S. economy.Real estate accounts for 18% of GDP, and each home sale generates two jobs. This is why state officials and business leaders continue to prioritize stable and thriving communities.Remember earlier in the series we spoke about some other influential men in the state who were involved in creating the housing disparity gap that we have today.LT GOV PEGGY FLANAGAN: I don't believe that that Thomas Frankson ever imagined that there would be an Ojibwe woman as lieutenant governor several, several years after he was in this role, and additionally, right? It's symbolic, but also representation without tangible results, right? Frankly, doesn't, doesn't matter. And so, I think acknowledging that history is powerful. I think it has to do with how we heal and move forward. And we can't get stuck there.MARGARET THORPE-RICHARDS: Thorpe Brothers was very much a part of my childhood and sort of upbringing. But my own father, Frank Thorpe, was not part of the real estate business. He chose to do investments.This is Margaret Thorpe-Richards. Her grandfather is Samuel Thorpe. Head of Thorpe Brothers, the largest real estate firm in Minneapolis, which he helped establish in 1885. I asked her to share her memories.MARGARET THORPE-RICHARDS: My uncle, my dad's brother, Sam Thorpe, the third, also followed in the Thorpe Brothers family business and he ran it until kind of that maybe the early 80s or mid 80s. But anyway, they sold off the residential to another big broker here, and then just kept commercial. While I was growing up you know I was aware about real estate but not actively involved.MARGARET THORPE-RICHARDS: Both my grandfather and grandmother, they were very much, I don't know, white upper class, you know, I remember going to dinner at their house, they weren't very reachable, like personally, so I never really had a relationship with them, even though they lived two or three doors down. And that's kind of my recollection.LEE HAWKINS: Okay. And so, at that time, there was no indication that there was any racism in their hearts or anything like that.MARGARET THORPE-RICHARDS: Oh, I don't know if I want to say that.Margaret's entry into the real estate business didn't happen in the way you might expect given her grandfather's outsized role in the industry.MARGARET THORPE-RICHARDS: I went to my uncle Sam who was at the helm of Thorpe Brothers Real Estate it was still intact and he didn't see the opportunity or the talent that I had which I have to say I always have had I'm not going to be boastful but I'm really good at sales and so he never he never explored that and I think basically that was sexism.We didn't really have a great relationship. My father died early. He died when I was 18. So that also impacted things.It was my mother who's not the blood relative, Mary Thorpe Mies. She went into real estate during kind of the boom years of 2000. She said you need to come. She said, I'll help you get started." And we had a good long run for probably 10 years and then she retired, and I've been on my own until a year and a half ago when my oldest son Alexander joined me as my business partner. So now we're the Thorpe Richards team and he is essentially fifth generation realtor of the Thorpe family.The nature of her family's role in the origins of discriminatory housing policy is a recent discovery for Margaret and her two sons.MARGARET THORPE-RICHARDS: I really didn't know about these covenants until it was 2019 when, and I was actually on the board of the Minneapolis Area Association of RealtorsI asked her how she felt when she found out.MARGARET THORPE-RICHARDS: I was horrified. It felt shameful.I'm not going to fix anything, but I would like to show up in a way that says I think this was wrong and I'd like to help make it right.I felt like I needed to take some ownership. I also was a little worried about putting a stain on the Thorpe name by sort of speaking my truth or what I feel we have a huge family.So I was reluctant maybe to speak out against, you know, the wrongs. However, I've just been trying to do my job at educating and being welcoming and creating it as part of our mission that we want to, you know, serve those who have not been well -served and have been discriminated and who've had an economic hardship because of the way that things were.I can relate to what Margaret is saying here.MARGARET THORPE-RICHARDS: And that has proven to be challenging as well. I'm not gonna lie. I'm white. I'm not black. So, how do I sort of reach over to extend our expertise and services to a population that maybe wants to deal with somebody else who's looks like them or I don't know it's a tricky endeavor and we continue to try and do outreach.I went through a similar range of emotions and thoughts while writing my book and uncovering family secrets that some of my relatives would rather not to think about. It led to some difficult discussions. I asked her if she'd had those conversations with her family -MARGARET THORPE-RICHARDS: Mm -mm. This might be it, Lee. This could be the conversation. I feel like it's time to say something from my perspective. I have a platform, I have a voice, and I think it needs to be said and discussed and talked about,One thing that struck me in my conversation with Margaret is her advanced-level understanding of the issue. She mentioned the challenge of foundational Black Americans versus immigrants. Families who moved from the South looking for opportunities after World War one and two were most severely affected by these discriminatory policies.Here's Jackie Barry Director of Minneapolis Area Realtors;JACKIE BERRY: Between 1930 and 1960 and to me, this is a staggering statistic, less than 1% of all mortgages were granted to African Americans across the country. That truly speaks to having a lack of equity to pull out of any homes, to be able to increase wealth and help other family members.Efforts to address this are well-advanced here. Yet, lieutenant governor Flanagan is clear about how much more can and should be doneLT GOV PEGGY FLANAGAN: It's important to acknowledge and to provide folks with the resources needed to change and remove those covenants, which is a whole lot of paperwork, but I think is worth doing. And then figure out, how do we make these investments work? In partnership with community.I asked why the state has not issued an official apology for its role in pioneering structural housing discrimination and whether she sees any value in doing so.LT GOV PEGGY FLANAGAN: An apology is powerful. But in the same way that I think things like land acknowledgements are powerful. If you don't have policies and investments to back them up, then they're simply words. So I think the work that we have done during our administration, is one of the ways that we correct those wrongs, explicitly apologizing. I think could be something that is is powerful, and I don't want us to just get stuck there without doing the actual work the people expect of us.I wanted to understand what that work is –LT GOV PEGGY FLANAGAN: I think when we increase home ownership rates within our communities, it's a benefit to the state as a whole,LEE HAWKINS: right, okay, so not necessarily going back and doing reparatory justice, but looking out into the future.LT GOV PEGGY FLANAGAN: But I think that is reparatory justice, okay, making those investments in communities that have been historically underserved, you know, partnering with nonprofits that are led by and for communities of color, that are trusted.I asked all three women for their thoughts on the pace of progress. Here's Margaret –MARGARET THORPE-RICHARDS: I don't see it changing very quickly. So I don't know how to sort of fuel that effort or movement. It seems like we talk about it a lot, yet the needle isn't moving.And Jackie -JACKIE BERRY: We need to increase our training and development. So in Minnesota, a realtor has to do um complete Fair Housing credits every two years, meaning that they're getting some type of education related to learning about housing discrimination and how to avoid it, how to represent clients equitably, understanding rules and regulations around fair housing.And lieutenant governor FlanaganLT GOV PEGGY FLANAGAN: Our legislation that we passed in 2023 was $150 million directed at first time homebuyers and black, indigenous and communities of color. We see that, I think, as a down payment right on the work needs to happen. The legislature is the most diverse legislature we've ever had, three black women who are elected to the Senate, the very first black women ever to serve. And I think we start to see the undoing of some of that injustice simply because there are more of us at the table.Communicating these complex policies and ideas is no easy task at the best of times. I was talking to the lieutenant governor shortly after the 2024 presidential election which delivered a stinging rebuke of the Democratic party and many of the social justice initiatives it champions.LT GOV PEGGY FLANAGAN: Listen, I'm a Native American woman named Peggy Flanagan, I've been doing this dance my entire life, right? And, you know. I also know that Minnesotans really care about their neighbors. They really care about their communities and the state, and frankly, people are sick and tired of being told that they have to hate their neighbor. We're over it.LEE HAWKINS: What do you say to them when they say that's woke and I'm tired of it. I'm fatigued. I didn't do anything, I didn't steal land, I didn't enslave people, and I'm feeling attacked.LT GOV PEGGY FLANAGAN: The biggest thing that we need to do right now, is just, is show up and like, listen and, you know, find those common values and common ground.LEE HAWKINS: And this doesn't have to be a partisan conversation.LT GOV PEGGY FLANAGAN: It does not, and frankly, it shouldn't be.LEE HAWKINS: Have you seen that kind of that kind of cooperation between the parties in Minnesota here with it's actually some of these reparations' measures could be doable.LT GOV PEGGY FLANAGAN: I don't know that they say reparations, but I would sayLEE HAWKINS: It's a very polarizing word to some extent.LT GOV PEGGY FLANAGAN: Everything that we do has to be grounded in relationshipsThroughout this series, we've explored the legacies of Frank and Marie Taurek, who embodied allyship and fairness by making land accessible to Black families. James and Frances Hughes, built on that opportunity, fostering collaboration within the Black community by creating pathways to homeownership.These families, in their own ways, represent the power of choice: to open doors, to challenge norms, and to plant seeds of progress.Their stories remind us that even within deeply flawed systems, individuals can make decisions that echo across generations. But as we reckon with the enduring impacts of housing discrimination and inequity, the question remains: In our time, what choices will we make to move forward—and who will they benefit?You've been listening to Unlocking the Gates: How the North led Housing Discrimination in America.

In the 1960s, St. Louis nearly became one of the most magical places on earth. A planned Disneyland, called the Riverfront Square, captured imaginations as local leaders sought to strike a deal with Walt Disney himself — until that deal went bibbidi, bobbidi, bust. In this encore episode from May 2024, writer Devin Thomas O'Shea reminds us of what the canceled Disney attraction might have been, the disputed reasons why the plan fell apart (no, it wasn't just over beer), and the problematic characters and mythologized storytelling that the park would have been designed around.

Wally Langfellow joins the Lake Show with Fernando Attanon to talk about the Wood Bat Little League Tournament happening this weekend in Robbinsdale and St. Louis Park   The 2024 Baseball in Benin Little League Wood Bat Tournament gets underway on Thursday (Aug 1) and runs through Sunday (Aug 4) in Robbinsdale and St. Louis Park.   41 Little League teams from around the Twin Cities metro area will play in this year's tournament.  Teams competing exclusively use wood bats. The tournament is completely run by volunteers, and will again benefit the Baseball in Benin (BIB) project which has been going on since 2010.   Fernando Attanon, the President of the Baseball and Softball Federation in Benin will be on hand for this weekend's tournament  along with 22-year old Beninese player Sadock Gnarigo, who grew up in the BIB program and is currently playing college baseball at Century College in White Bear Lake where he will be a sophomore this fall.  Gnarigo is the first-ever baseball player from Benin to play the game outside of his country and at the next level.    All proceeds from this weekend's Wood Bat Tournament will continue to support the BIB project which includes building Benin's first ever baseball field and shipping equipment to Benin. The Wood Bat Tournament, now in its 20th year, is a great way for the players in Minnesota to connect and help the players in Africa.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- It's no secret, we hate odd year elections. Very few people come out, and the majority of those are activists, union members, and the uber political. Should 3,500 people decide who makes policy for a city of 50,000? Why don't we just make it easy for people to vote? We hear so much about making it as easy as possible for everyone to have their voice heard, and then so many places have these odd year elections. They are done solely so one side can control the election results. This is the wrong way to go about it. You will find odd year elections in small cities like Appleton and in big cities like Minneapolis and St Paul. Some races have competition and some are completely uncontested. How do races even go uncontested, let alone an entire slate of races in a single city or school district? There were numerous referendums and sales tax implementations on the ballot, which passed more in the metro than outstate. Minneapolis also has a number of races where candidates are either on the Democratic Socialist ticket and the Socialist Workers' Party ticket. Ilhan Omar hand-picked the new mayor of St Louis Park. Have fun with all that. We have to stop with the odd year elections. They do nothing, but secure the DFL's hold on local elections. We also discussed the recent death of Matthew Perry and those that went too soon that have left an impact on us. It prompts a discussion on the search for meaning, and I think we may have figured it out. Have you checked out our Spotify playlist?

Minnesota Now is following historic results in mayoral races around the state. In Golden Valley, the race is still too close to call. Roslyn Harmon led Gillian Rosenquist by just 26 votes when the polls closed Tuesday night. If she wins, Harmon will be the city's first Black mayor. In Duluth, Roger Reinert pulled off a rare win against a two-term incumbent. Reinert won nearly 60% of the vote. At a celebration Tuesday night at Clyde Iron Works, he told supporters he wanted to have a "smooth transition." In St. Louis Park, voters chose Nadia Mohamed to be their next mayor. She is the city's first Somali city council member and at 27 years old, its youngest. Now she appears to be the first elected Somali mayor in the country. She received more than 58% of first-choice votes compared to opponent Dale Anderson's 41%. Mayor elect Nadia Mohamed joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to talk about her win.

27 year old, Nadia Mohamed made history last night with her winning the election for Mayor of St. Louis Park.   She talked with Vineeta on The WCCO Morning News

Musician Woody Stulberg looks forward to wearing his Halloween costume to Cabarave: MadHaus III this weekend. He says the event by RatHaus Productions as an “immersive nightclub experience with a theater twist.” Pop-up live performances include aerial silks, fire dancing, live music and performance painting, which take place around — and above — the audience. Stulberg describes the atmosphere as “sensual” but also welcoming to all. Halloween costumes and audience participation are encouraged. The shows take place this Friday and Saturday evening at Brother Justus Whiskey Company in Minneapolis. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the shows start at 8 p.m. Greg Krausert of Austin, Minn. is also planning on wearing a Halloween costume this Saturday night when he attends a cabaret performance at the Austin Country Club by local drag performer Roxie Manacoochi. Backed by a DJ, Manacoochi sings a range of styles from Cole Porter to Madonna to contemporary fare. She was named first runner up to Miss Gay Iowa USofA and is preparing to compete again this January. “It's unbelievable fun,” says Krausert of the show, recalling Manacoochi's September performance, which kept the audience laughing and singing far beyond the scheduled run time. Saturday's cabaret show starts at 7:30 p.m.  Twin Cities filmmaker Peter Groynom is looking forward to attending the Twin Cities Film Fest, which continues with a full lineup of showings tonight, Friday and Saturday.  The films play at the ShowPlace ICON Theatre in St Louis Park, and Groynom says this centralized location makes it easy to see multiple shows and also have a chance to connect with other filmmakers and enthusiasts. The year's festival has drawn about 70 films by local, national and international filmmakers. The films are also accessible to stream through the festival website. Groynom appreciates how the festival spotlights diverse programming. On his watch list: a series of dramatic shorts called “American Tales” Friday at 2:30; a block of comedic shorts called “The Joke's on Us” Saturday at 12:30 — both with filmmaker Q&As afterward; and a Saturday afternoon documentary, “Jimmy in Saigon,” which explores the life, romance and death of a queer veteran in Vietnam.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- Ever heard of the Minnesota Regional Council of Mayors? Yeah, us neither until we stumbled upon it in our vast research. It was created from the Urban Land Institute. Right now, it includes mayors from St Louis Park, Minnetonka, Burnsville, Lakeville, Edina, Eagan, Woodbury, Duluth, Willmar, and more. They are sponsored by the likes of Target, Comcast, Wells Fargo, and Dorsey. This "new localism" is where all of the groups with money and power get together to tell you how to live. This group is bringing local government and business together into advisory groups to make policy. This is the textbook definition of fascism, just like the model set by the World Econimic Forum. They tackle topics like mental health, inclusive cities, economics, land use and all of the other things these cities and counties push. Then they take their progressive urban plan and disseminate it into the schools. We see the ESG model being pushed even at the local level to drive certain behaviors and push certain environmental, social, and governmental solutions. How is the MN Governor's race shaping up?

Today's episode is part one of our adventures at the IECSC Show in Chicago! So what is IECSC? It stands for the International Esthetics, Cosmetics, Spa Conference. So we attended the IECSC in Chicago in April. It's a trade show meant for people in the beauty industry to educate, network and have discounted purchasing opportunities from vendors. Emily and myself literally took advantage of all of these opportunities and we wanted to actually throw ourselves out in the wild and connect with a handful of vendors. Today's episode is a part 1 one of a 2 part series that we are so excited to share!! We're calling this episode in the wild because we are interviewing beauty industry experts in each episode live at the show! We're going to introduce the interviewer and then play our audio and then give our thoughts and feelings on what we learned from them.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- Governor Walz wants Minnesota to be 100% carbon-free by the year 2040. It doesn't matter how many solar and wind farms you build, the technology is just not there to sustain our energy supply. Xcel Energy is claiming that it will close it's coal-fired power plant in Becker by 2030, and for the activists, that's still not good enough. Many cities have built in an 80% reduction by 2050 into their Climate Action Plans... but these cities need to do better. Buildings need to be retrofitted, alternative energy needs to be implemented, and you need to comply. All over the place, we see that the schools are turning their students into activists, and then sending them to their city councils to get them on board to go net zero. Why are council members listening to high school students as their science "experts"? That's ridiculous! The very essence of the word "student", is that they are still studying. Of course climate change is based in racial justice too. Despite the impending failure this kind of legislation is, Governor Walz is not ready to give up the ship. Oh, and it's history lesson week... uff da. Although, it also takes a turn for a lively discussion on the current push to switch over to a digital currency. This isn't the first time we've changed our currency either. Also, YouTube removed one of our podcast episodes. You'll have to listen to find out which one... and it's hilarious. Good news, you can still find it here. Have you checked out our Spotify playlist? At the beginning of each episode, Jason quotes some song lyrics that have to do with the subject matter of the podcast. Andrew never knows what they are, but now he can… and so can you!

www.commsolutionsmn.com- Southwest Light Rail is back in the news. This is a project that just will not die. It's way over time and over budget, but that doesn't stop our unaccountable Met Council from pushing it forward. $2.7 billion is the new projected cost for the project, and there is no consideration for the inflation we've all incurred (or that inflation is nowhere near its peak). Now they want an independent audit to decide if all the cash has been spent wisely. We don't need an audit to say that there's tons of waste, but they will never ask the question "if" this should still be done at all. This project has been bungled from the Met Council, to the Legislature, Hennepin County, and down to the local governments. People like Rep Ryan Winkler acknowledge how expensive it's already been, but used that as an excuse as to why it has to be finished. Sen Melissa Franzen says that we must protect their investment by finishing the project. That doesn't even make sense! Protect the money by spending more money? Governor Walz wants the audit, but has more money set aside for Southwest in his budget. Our government is dead set on making this unsustainable boondoggle a reality, no matter the harm it causes the everyday resident. I guess that it's more important to look fashionable than to do your job to protect the people. We also take a look at the new redistricting plans that were released by the state. It's not all bad?

www.commsolutionsmn.com- It's officially an election year, and one of the most overlooked elections on the ballot is the county attorney. As we've seen, this is completely unacceptable, because these prosecutors are deciding to let criminals go free before a day of justice ever happens in court. We are watching crime rates rise as career criminals are allowed to terrorize these DFL-run cities, and leaking out into the suburbs. Why don't we have a voice in our safety? We do, but we don't take these races seriously. The candidates that we have lining up to succeed Mike Freeman are no prize. It's more of the progressive left carbon copies, leaving us with no choice at all. Not one of these are tough on crime. Not one. They do want to hold police accountable though.. even though that's not their job. They also want to engage in bail reform, so that criminals don't have to pay it to get out before trial. Whether you decide to fill in the bubble for Sara Swatisingh, Mary Moriarty, Simon Troutman, or Ryan "The Fonz" Winkler, you will have someone that will usher criminals in closer to your door. They are running so they can legislate from the attorney's office. That is completely unacceptable and illegal. And for those of you that are in other counties, including out- state Minnesota, these are the kinds of county attorneys that are being recruited. Take watch before your county goes this direction as well. Also, we have a local government mask mandate update! Autocratic cities are falling all over themselves to control their population. We also discuss the weakness of American policy in Ukraine. Have you checked out our Spotify playlist?

www.commsolutionsmn.com- It was only a matter of time, but Minneapolis and St Paul have reinstituted a mask mandate. This has nothing to do with science, but is strictly political. The Mayo Clinic has stopped short of saying that cloth masks do little, and only by having an N95 or KN95 mask do you get the protection that you need. Governor Walz says that he will not implement a mask mandate "at this time", but is urging other jurisdictions to do so. That is absolutely the case with Minneapolis and St Paul, and you have Edina looking at implementing a mandate, and other cities will follow. In fact, St Louis Park will be hearing public comments on a mask mandate on January 18th, 2022. Here's the info in case you want to attend. Rochester may not be far behind. Thankfully, Duluth said no. We keep hearing about how we need to take the vaccines and wear our masks from people that keep getting breakthrough cases. Something isn't adding up here. Yet, they keep blaming unvaccinated people for the rise in cases. Schools districts are going online again. The things that didn't work before are being forced on us again. Why, if it did nothing for us last time? We've got to start talking in facts and common sense if we say that we value science. Unfortunately, that stuff is in short supply in today's politicians and media. We also discuss The recent AOC trip to Miami, where it's ok for her to go party maskless, but she'll never fight for your ability to do it... in fact she tries to keep that moist, germ-infused rag strapped to your face for you to inhale.
