When 25-year-old Tim Evans was hanged for killing his wife and 14-month-old daughter in 1949, few outside of his family questioned whether justice had been done. After all, Evans had at one point confessed to the crimes. But during his trial he recanted, saying that a neighbor had killed his 20-year-old wife Beryl during a botched abortion attempt. It seemed a ludicrous attempt at diversion -- until that same neighbor was himself revealed to be a serial killer just three years later. The questions sparked by the case helped fuel a movement to halt the death penalty in Britain.

In Minnesota, deadly drug overdoses doubled between 2018 and 2023. In Minneapolis, those deaths are disproportionately represented. In 2022, Minneapolis had nearly a quarter of the opioid deaths in the state, while the city only makes up eight percent of the population. Southside Harm Reduction is on the front lines trying to prevent deadly overdoses in Minneapolis. They were featured in a new story and photo essay by local photojournalist Tim Evans. His essay “What Harm Reduction Really Looks Like” was co-published in The Nation and the Economic Hardship Reporting Project. Evans joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about his essay.

In 1950, a man named Timothy Evans of South Wales is charged with the murder of his young wife and infant daughter. He told the court he was innocent, but no one believed him. He told the court the man responsible was John Reginald Christie—a man who testified against him for the prosecution, ultimately leading to Tim Evans' death. Three years later, police would discover that John Christie himself was in fact a serial killer who confessed to murdering not only Tim Evans' wife, but his own. This case was a huge judicial fiasco in the Crown Court, and it would take thirty-seven years to set it straight. This is the story of John Reginald Christie.

OPEC on Aug. 4 renewed production cuts that are expected to tighten global oil supplies and in turn keep upwards pressure on oil prices which have seen several consecutive weeks of gains recently. Tim Evans, energy analyst and founder of the new consultancy Evans on Energy, joined the podcast to discuss OPEC's production policy, the group's objectives and what that means for oil prices. Evans has offered daily market commentary about the crude oil, heating oil, RBOB gasoline and US natural gas futures markets since 1995. On the podcast, he hits on the economics as well as the politics behind some of the OPEC+ alliance's decisions, possible tensions brewing within the alliance and whether the US can combat their desire for a tighter physical market and subsequent higher prices.

In the 1950s, a Danish woman, Ella Flatau, began taking her kids on walks in the forest to teach them about the world. Soon, other parents asked if their kids could join, and before long, they formalised the arrangement, creating the first "forest kindergarten" in the country, and possibly the world. Fast forward to today, and most of us have a sense that it's good for young children (and ourselves!) to spend time in nature, but that it can be hard to do. In Denmark, and increasingly around the world, there is a growing interest in the physical and mental benefits of children being in nature - whether that be learning to balance by climbing trees, or experiencing the mental calmness of wide, open, green spaces. In this episode Sam goes to visit Rikke Rosengren, the founder of the Bonsai Institute skovbørnehave (forest kindergarden). Rikke is the author of the book Child of Nature and trains teachers around the world how to incorporate more nature into their learning institutions. Rikke shows Sam around the school and answers his (long list of) questions. As a new parent himself, understanding how they work is no longer an abstract concept, but something he is considering for his own daughter… We also get a UK perspective, speaking with Tim Evans, who's been a forest school leader at Alton Park primary school, about how even small amounts of nature based learning can do wonders for children and adults. If you've ever wondered about the practicalities of letting children roam free in nature (with adult supervision), or need a little nudge towards spending more time in green spaces, then this is for you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This episode is sponsored by Talent to Denmark's "State of Denmark" campaign.

It's a Friday night at the Pillsbury United Communities' Waite House in Minneapolis. Artist Monica Vega is standing over a small table showing other Latinos how to make traditional cempasuchil flowers out of paper. While she walks through the steps, all eyes are on her hands as she molds the bright orange paper into a beautiful flower.  This year, for Día de los Muertos, there will be an “Altar de Muertos,” or ofrenda, at the Minnesota State Capitol for the first time. It will include the cempasuchil flowers Vega and community members are making, mixed in with real, locally grown flowers. Día de los Muertos is when loved ones who have passed away come back to visit and celebrate with the living. Many Latinos create ofrendas in their homes or community centers that include food and drinks, photos of loved ones, papel picado — a decorative paper with intricate cutout designs — and incense. It also includes the cempasuchil flowers — which are traditionally known as the flower of the dead — whose musky scent helps guide the souls back home.  Artists Monica Vega and Flor Soto are designing the ofrenda, which will represent the cultural traditions of Mexican and Latinx communities in Minnesota. Tim Evans for MPR News Lead artist Monica Vega gives instructions to volunteers while working Sunday on the first-ever Altar de Muertos at the State Capitol. Organizers hope it will create a space to remember those who lost their lives in recent years from COVID-19, police brutality and gun violence. They'll also be remembering immigrants who lost their lives at the U.S.-Mexico border.  For Vega, creating ofrendas is a tradition close to her heart. When she was a young teenager, her father passed away and she created her first altar to keep his memory alive. “The Day of the Dead celebration has been in my family since I can remember. My mom lost a baby and Dad, in a way to keep remembering that baby decided to do an altar at home every single year to remember that baby. When he passed away I really needed a way for myself to heal. It was really hard at that age, losing your dad,” Vega said. “We created the altars at home, but once I got married and had my kids I said, ‘You know what? I should continue my tradition so in that way I let my kids know about Grandpa.'” Now, creating ofrendas has become Vega's craft. The altar at the State Capitol is just one of many she's designed at homes, community centers and cultural organizations across Minnesota. For Vega, it's important to her to research and learn more about the history so she can pass it onto the next generation of Latinos in Minnesota. She said she recognizes that creating the first Altar de Muertos at the State Capitol is a big responsibility for her community. Tim Evans for MPR News Lead artists Flor Soto (left) and Monica Vega pose for a portrait Sunday at the Minnesota State Capitol. Soto and Vega are tasked with creating the first-ever Altar de Muertos at the Capitol.

Tim Evans for MPR News Artist Flor Soto sets up a photo of a deceased community member on the first-ever Altar de Muertos at the Minnesota State Capitol. First of its kind at any Minnesota government building The idea for the ofrenda came from Carmen Maya Johnson-Ortiz. She runs (Neo) Muralismos de Mexico, a Minnesota-based Mexican and Latinx community arts organization, with her brother Aaron Johnson-Ortiz. Johnson-Ortiz remembers asking her brother if there had ever been an altar at the Capitol before. When they realized there had never been one at any Minnesota government organization, they knew it was time to organize one for their community.  “I'm Mexican-American, so I can go back and forth. But I know a lot of people that move here and they, you know, are not able to go back to their country, and they miss all the things that, you know, remind them of their family, of their town, of their tradition,” Johnson-Ortiz reflected. “I think it's important that we do them here, so that we can feel like we are part of this community and not just in a different land where our traditions don't matter.” Carmen Maya and Aaron Johnson-Ortiz pitched the idea to the Minnesota Council on Latino Affairs. Katya Zepeda is the council's Legislative and Policy Director of Education and coordinated the work from the artists and organizers with the Capitol. Tim Evans for MPR News Frida Solano Vega, daughter of lead artist Monica Vega, helps her mother set up the first-ever Altar de Muertos at the State Capitol building. Zepeda says she hopes having an ofrenda at the Capitol shows the value in tradition, brings healing to the pain members of the community have been experiencing, and creates a visible space for them to come together.  “We've had loss of jobs, we've had loss of lives, we've dealt with police brutality in our community as well, many lives lost at the border.” Zepeda said. “ All of that just starts to bottle up and to have a spot where you could just remember and feel like, okay, you're not alone.” While the Altar de Muertos is not related to the upcoming election season, Zepeda says she  hopes it serves as an important reminder for elected officials to recognize Minnesota's Latino community.  "Our issues are still going to be there. So it's a reminder, I think, for our politicians, our legislation and our community to remember that we are here, a big part of Minnesota, of the history and that our issues need to be taken into consideration as we build Minnesota up,” Zepeda said. ‘You made it from your heart' Back at the workshop, the pile of cempasuchil flowers grows as artist Monica Vega sits around a table with other Latinos. As the night goes on, community members trade stories on family history, cultural traditions and community happenings. Seeing other Latinos make the cempasuchil flowers brings Vega joy. She hopes visitors will come out to see the Altar de Muertos, and she encourages other Latinos to explore the tradition in their own way. “Sometimes we don't have enough money to buy everything. If you have one picture, if you have one glass of water, if you have any kind of bread — it doesn't really need to be Day of the Dead special bread — if you have only fruit. Whatever you have, that's the way you start it,” Vega said. “Just please don't think if you don't follow those rules, your family members won't come to visit you because that's a lie. They will definitely come to visit you because you made it from your heart.” The Altar de Muertos at the Minnesota State Capitol will be unveiled Tuesday, Nov. 1, available for public viewing until Nov. 12. Visitors are encouraged to bring photos of loved ones to honor. Tim Evans for MPR News Skeleton figurines line the top of the first-ever Altar de Muertos at the State Capitol building.

Updated: 9:11 a.m. When Heidi Adelsman was in fourth grade, her family told her she'd be going to a new school the next year. It was 1971 and Minneapolis was deeply segregated. Children attended public schools that were either mostly white or mostly Black, and schools with mostly Black students got fewer resources. Adelsman, who is white, said her family's home had been built with a racial covenant that legally prohibited anyone who wasn't white from purchasing the property. She remembers not going to play in the nearest park because it was considered the “Black park.” Tim Evans for MPR News Co-curator Heidi Adelsman reads over an installment in the Separate Not Equal exhibition at the Hennepin History Museum. “If you lived next to 35W, you couldn't move south of the racially restricted areas,” Adelsman recalled. “We were living in an apartheid Minneapolis up until the 50s and 60s in some ways. People were very restricted as to where they could live.” Adelsman is one of the curators behind a new exhibit at the Hennepin History Museum. “Separate Not Equal” tells the story of school desegregation and the pairing of Nathan Hale and Eugene Field elementary schools, which were less than 2 miles apart in south Minneapolis. But for Adelsman, the story is not just public history, it's personal. She was among the white students bused from Hale to Field when desegregation efforts started. “It was really a wonderful thing for me to go to Field and have classmates that looked like my family. For many of us, for myself and the family that I come from, from our values, it made a big difference in my life.”  Tim Evans for MPR News Co-curator Heidi Adelsman shows a photograph of former Minneapolis school teacher Bessie Griffin. These were classmates who looked like her African American brother, and that was in addition to a diverse teaching staff and curriculum. Adelsman and her family were excited to be part of the desegregation effort. But she remembers other white families who were against it. “People would see you in the store and walk away, call your house and say, ‘We're coming into your house in the middle of the night,'” Adelsman said. “There were some very real threats. This is a very Midwestern form of racism that we don't want to acknowledge. This is part of what perpetuates our segregation, white supremacy in Minneapolis, I'm afraid — is that we don't acknowledge this history.”  Tim Evans for MPR News Co-curator Cindy Booker points out a map depicting how Minnehaha Falls served as an informal demarcation for racial segregation in south Minneapolis throughout much of the 20th century. The exhibit documents pushback from white families, but there are also stories of success — school administrators navigating tricky situations and recruiting a more diverse staff with at least 10 percent teachers of color. And then there were the family and community interactions across racial lines that built new relationships and broke down racist stereotypes. “There were stereotypes about Field being a ‘less than place,' … this notion that the African American parents were uneducated at Field,” Adelsman said. “The African American parents at Field had very good jobs and were very educated … There is so much ingrained from white supremacy and racism that we can't see other people for the human potential and the humanity that we are.”  Adelsman isn't the only exhibit curator who lived through the Field-Hale pairing. Cindy Booker, who is Black, was in first grade when her mom got her ready to go to a new school as part of the desegregation effort. Tim Evans for MPR News Co-curator Cindy Booker looks fondly at a photograph of former Minneapolis School Board Member W. Harris Davis, Sr., who played a large role in pushing for educational racial integration. “My mom kept on saying, school's going to be different, you're not going to be able to walk with your brother and your cousins and you're going to have to take the school bus,” Booker said. For Booker and her family, the desegregation effort came with wins and losses. She got access to more resources at Hale, but she also spent more time on the bus. “The white parents and the Black parents with Hale-Field, they came up with a consensus of compromises. Each group got what they needed, not necessarily what they want,” she said.  Booker, who is one of the exhibit's curators, said the process of learning the history of desegregation in Minneapolis has revealed important lessons that can be applied now.  She was recently elected to fill a vacant at-large school board seat for Minneapolis Public Schools. She's taking many lessons from the exhibit into her new work. Booker was impressed by past leaders' commitment to design and follow-through on a program that breaks down stereotypes and racial divisions to get Minneapolis communities what they need.  The exhibit at the Hennepin History Museum runs through the spring of next year.

What do I do if my spouse and I are not on the same page? Unity within marriage is vital. God's idea of marriage is centered on unity. Is your marriage unified? What creates unity and what destroys it? Anne Evans joins Suz to talk about unity within marriage. This week we are FIGHTING for marriage! Anne and Tim Evans have 6 books about marriage. Their books are centered on sexuality, sexual intimacy, forgiveness, how to dream as a married couple, and so many more topics! No matter what season your marriage is in, these books will take your marriage to the next level! Check out their books here! How to build unity within marriage "It took me seven years to be comfortable within marriage. I was conflict avoidant and didn't want to create anything bad in my marriage. Living in unity is all about living in unity with the Lord. Unity with our spouse is great but unity with God is our foundation we live on." - Anne Here are a few main points of how to have unity in your marriage: Learn how to include God in your decisions Include others (community) in your life Pursue the heart of God and be unified with Him Building Unity Teachability and availability are the two main ways unity is built. Marriages can be marked by differences which can create tension. A big distinction Anne makes is differencing absolutes from preferences. Often times we get bogged down with preferences and it causes fights. Learn how to talk to each other Learn how to manage our emotions Find the best times to have hard conversations The topic is unity but we are called to examine ourselves and develop our inner core. We can set ourselves (and our spouse) up for success when we do the hard work within ourselves. Then even if our spouse doesn't do exactly what we want, we are still able to grow with God. We want to end with an encouragement. Your identity is first and forever found in Christ. Your marriage is marked by the love of God and His love covers a multitude of sins. As we fight for unity within our marriage, we encourage you to think about how God wants to strengthen you with unity so your marriage can be unified. It starts with you and God and overflows into your relationships. Podcast Resources: Real Life Ministries Crazy Cool Resources: CCF Podcasts CCF Social Media Join Basecamp- FOR FREE!

When it first hit in 2020, COVID-19 tore through Minnesota's Hmong community, sickening and killing people as it reached into family get-togethers, cultural celebrations and other gatherings favorable to its spread. By early 2021, researchers estimated Hmong people accounted for about 50 percent of deaths among Minnesotans of Asian descent though they made up only about 25 percent of that population. “Because we're such a tight-knit community, all our events were like a huge gathering — weddings, funerals, social events, birthdays. Everything large and small, we would gather as a huge community,” said Dr. David Thao. “It was prime for COVID to spread, super spread.” While the disease devastated early on, conditions are significantly better. COVID in the Hmong community appears to be mostly in check for now. Despite an early hesitancy, people of Asian ancestry now boast Minnesota's highest COVID vaccination rate. What made the difference? Observers point to a growing class of young Hmong doctors, nurses and public health leaders who recognized COVID's threat and worked to guide people toward science-based answers. Many in that emerging professional generation have grown from kids helping their parents navigate medical appointments to adults helping stymie a deadly disease. ‘We look like and we sound like them' For many Hmong health professionals, COVID is the biggest challenge they've faced. Early on, it was brutal. The disease claimed several high-profile leaders in the first few months. St. Paul School Board Chair Marny Xiong, just 31, died in June 2020. In October 2020, COVID killed Choua Yang, 53, founder of a Hmong cultural language charter school in Brooklyn Park. Shortly after came news of the death of Tou-Fu Vang, 76, who'd fought in the Secret War and helped refugees resettle in the United States. Five months later, the illness killed 52-year-old attorney Kao Ly Ilean Her, executive director of the council on Asian Pacific Minnesotans and the first Hmong person to serve on the University of Minnesota Board of Regents. With COVID hitting the community hard, Thao knew he needed to reach out to people in Hmong, in mediums where Hmong people got information. He began posting videos to YouTube and social media and went on local Hmong television to help educate people. Peter Cox | MPR News Dr. David Thao, a plastic surgeon, stands in the lobby of his clinic Woodbury Plastic Surgery. Thao founded the Hmong Medical Association in 2018, in part, to recruit more Hmong people into the healthcare field. “Our goal was multifaceted,” said Thao, 50, who founded the Hmong Medical Association in 2018. “One was we wanted to provide an education, outreach for the community so that if they had any questions about medicine, we would be able to answer that. “Our second goal was because there are so few of us, we want to encourage the younger generation and the youth to pursue medicine. There's a community growing. The more physicians out there, the more we can kind of touch everyone in the community in a positive way.” ChangeMakers Asian and Pacific Islander Minnesotans making history Senior services reach out Try to build trust in communities not served before When vaccines became available, the association along with the Hmong Nurses Association began hosting vaccination clinics, as well as the Minnesota Department of Health. Hmong leaders posted online about getting vaccinated, the associations held vaccine clinics at community sites like the Hmong Village Shopping Center and Hmongtown Marketplace, which are both in St. Paul. Those efforts paid off. More than 88 percent of Minnesotans of Asian ancestry are vaccinated now with at least one dose — 15 percentage points higher than any other racial group. “It felt like everyone was trying to do their part, right? You know, social media influencers, faith leaders, other smaller nonprofits and groups, professional associations,” said Xp Lee, Asian Pacific Islander COVID community coordinator lead with the Minnesota Department of Health. Thao, now a plastic surgeon with a clinic in Woodbury, said he remembers being a kid translating at medical appointments for his family. It's a touchstone for many among the small but growing cadre of Hmong medical professionals. Tim Evans for MPR News Nurse practitioner May Hang examines a patient at NorthPoint Health and Wellness Clinic in North Minneapolis on Wednesday. “As a child of refugee parents, when we first came, I remember being the interpreter for my family at the age of 10, trying to figure out how to explain these medical terminology or procedures to my parents,” said May Hang, 48, a doctor of nursing practice and a family nurse practitioner at NorthPoint Medical Clinic in Minneapolis. “So, for us, fast forward to going through this pandemic, and being able to have health care professionals who are bilingual, bicultural,” she said. “We look like and we sound like them, we actually have the knowledge to explain the issues, the concepts, the science behind what's happening. I think that has been very helpful for the elders to understand what needs to be done and how to protect themselves and how to keep them safe.” Real progress, growing needs Just a few decades ago, things were much different. Lee Pao Xiong, director of the Center for Hmong Studies at Concordia University in St. Paul, recalled 1990, when there were more than 450 cases of measles, almost half of which were in the Hmong community. Three children died from the disease. “Some of the kids died because Hmong were using their own medicine to cure measles that was pretty much curable in America… back then you didn't have children teaching the parents because they didn't know, either,” he said. “But now you have family members with children in college or they graduated already. They're able to convince their parents or educate their parents about this.” Xiong noted that Hmong medicine is grounded in a culture 5,000 to 7,000 years old and that Hmong people have been in the United States for only about 50 years, so older generations are more likely to be skeptical of medicine here. He also said there's a spiritual and cultural aspect to things that most non-Hmong doctors don't understand — people who “practice the old faith” that says people have three souls and 32 spirits, who trace sickness to one of those souls leaving the body and believe only a shaman can restore them. “For the medical professions, they basically shrug off the spiritual aspect of things,” Xiong said. “But perhaps, for moving forward, perhaps some of these, the Hmong practitioners will say, ‘Well, that's wonderful, I'm glad that you've done that. But you know, this medication I'm prescribing for you will help strengthen your spirit … so that you can better protect your soul and your spirit.'” Xiong said he chose a Hmong doctor because he felt more comfortable talking to her. “So, if you say this is the best way to help me, I'm going to believe you, right? Because you come from my background, you understand my history, my culture, and you also understand my language, versus someone who knows nothing about me.” Click to view the graphic https://www.datawrapper.de/_/aLrz1/ There's still a need for more Hmong health care professionals. Thao says his organization estimates there are around 35 to 40 Hmong doctors in Minnesota. According to a Minnesota Department of Health study in 2019, just 0.2 percent of all doctors in the state speak Hmong. That's compared with 2.4 percent of households in the state where Hmong is the main home language. “I'm very, very pleased with the fact that we have grown in that sense. But to reflect the percentage of the makeup of our community, compared to the large community, are we proportional? The answer would be no,” said Hang, who sits on the executive board of the national Hmong Nurses Association and in August will co-chair the first-ever Hmong nurses national conference, which will be held in Minnesota. She said whenever she sees patients, it's clear to her how much representation matters. “Even after all these years of practicing and being in the medical field, I feel like whenever I walk into the room, and they look at me and I look like them and we can talk the same language, it puts them automatically at ease,” she said. “And it never gets old. It never gets old.” COVID-19 Coverage of the pandemic from MPR News North Star Journey Celebrating Minnesota communities What should we cover next? Pass the Mic

Angela Dawson has been farming for three years on land near Sandstone, Minn. She describes herself as a fourth-generation “reclamation” farmer, getting back to her ancestors' agricultural roots. “Part of my family is Black and the other is Native American,” Dawson said. “Our history over the last 150 years is layered with a lot of separation and forced moving.” It was in the mid-70s that Dawson's father's family lost their farm in southern Iowa after falling into debt on the rented land.   “It was a bit traumatic,” she said. “A lot of my family at first thought I was crazy for wanting to get back into farming because of the trauma that most Black farmers have experienced in the United States.” Courtesy of Angela Dawson 40 Acre Co-op co-founder Angela Dawson speaks to a crowd at a Juneteenth celebration on the farm. Black farmers have experienced discrimination in the United States for the last 150 years. That's decimated the number of Black farmers in the country. But some African American farmers are still trying to connect with their agricultural roots, and at the same time, build a more sustainable and equitable agricultural system. Her family's experience is part of what inspired Dawson to start up the 40 Acre Co-op, a reference to the never fulfilled promise from the Union army that people freed from enslavement should get 40 acres and a mule. It's a cooperative that offers farmers from socially disadvantaged backgrounds support and resources to succeed in the field. As of now, the co-op has about three dozen active members across the country and many more on a waiting list.   Dawson said it's time for people in the state, including those involved with traditional agricultural co-ops, to start taking issues of equity seriously. “Let's find a better way to talk about quality of life here in Minnesota for all of us, and to find ways to address some of these systemic issues that have long kept us from all achieving the same quality of life that we all deserve,“ Dawson said. Discrimination built into the system What Dawson's father experienced wasn't unique. The number of Black farmers in the country has plummeted from about a million a century ago, to just about 45,000 now, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics. That accounts for just 1.3 percent of farmers in the country. This wasn't just a coincidence, said historian Pete Daniel, who authored a book called “Dispossession,” which documented the struggles of Black farmers to hold onto their land. After slavery was officially abolished in the United States, he said Black people overcame prejudice, terror and discriminatory policies to actually control significant tracts of land. Since 1920, Black farmers have lost tens of millions of acres of land. A study released this year put the value of this lost land at $326 billion. Part of the loss is due to how the agricultural system started to change in the 1930s. And the New Deal was a major influence, Daniel said.  Whereas before, Black farmers could sue in court for inequitable treatment. The New Deal created county committees made up of local elites in each county, who were typically white. Those committees controlled land and federal loans. “They had the power to manipulate the county acreage, to give more acres to the people who they favored and to take away acres from the people they didn't favor, who were a lot of times the Black farmers,” Daniel said. “African American farmers had no representation and very little chance to appeal anything, so they were vulnerable to this system.” At the same time, the Department of Agriculture was prioritizing the modernization of American agriculture. So their policies emphasized the use of things like chemical fertilizers or mechanization, which were out of reach of smaller farmers who didn't have access to large amounts of money or federal loans. Daniel said mechanization of farms meant large landowners no longer needed as many workers on the land, so sharecroppers were thrown out of work, moved into town or even moved north, further decimating the numbers of Black farmers.  And this trend didn't slow after the New Deal. These systems continued on for decades. Until they resulted in a class action lawsuit from Black farmers in the late 1990s. The farmers won the case, which is known as Pigford v. Glickman, but the terms of the consent decree limited only to farmers who could provide evidence of discrimination by the USDA between 1981 and 1996, severely limiting the impact. More debt relief funding for Black and minority farmers in the recent American Rescue Plan was blocked after lawsuits from white farmers. “I can't hardly find anything that's not profane here,” Daniel said of the lawsuit, “but it's just chicken****.”  These are some of the systemic policies that contributed to a drastic decline in the number of farmers both across the country and in Minnesota. As of the most recent state agricultural survey, there were only 38 Black-owned farms in the state. Black on mostly white farmland Tim Evans for MPR News Henry Mitchell and his daughter Peace Mitchell pose for a portrait with wreaths made of balsam fir and jack pine trees grown on their Wadena family farm on April 20. It wasn't just the official systematic discrimination that Black farmers faced, especially in the heavily white rural Minnesota of decades past. Henry Mitchell grew up picking cotton in Mississippi, started a blues singing career in Memphis that brought him to a ski resort out west. That's where he met his future wife, Maren Mitchell, who came from a farm in Minnesota.  Mitchell and his wife moved to a hippie commune in northern Minnesota, but after being converted by evangelicals, they started a farm in Wadena County. Tim Evans for MPR News Farmer Henry Mitchell shows an old photograph of his wife, Maren Mitchell, and children, Peace Mitchell, Isaac Mitchell, Samuel Mitchell, and Peter Mitchell, gathered on their Wadena County farm in the 1970s. As a farmer, Mitchell specialized in mushrooms. He said the first season was a “booming success.” He had fans of his mushrooms coming up from the Twin Cities suburbs just to get them: “I mean, I couldn't raise them fast enough.” His daughter Peace Mitchell remembers what it was like growing up on that farm. “My mom loved horses, so we had quarter horses. We had chickens and ducks and pigs, I mean, we had all kinds of animals,” she said. “It was pretty cool.” But growing up, Peace Mitchell remembers feeling slightly tokenized in the mostly white, rural community.  “I, and my brothers, were the only brown kids in my school,” Peace Mitchell said, noting that the people in the area were always very nice. “I think that we were always like mascots, but in a way, you're always like a novelty.”  Tim Evans for MPR News Peace Mitchell shows an old family photo of her and her mother, Maren Mitchell, in Wadena County in the 1970s.

Tim Evans for MPR News Peace Mitchell shows an old family photo of her and her father, Henry Mitchell, in Wadena County in the 1970s. Henry Mitchell said his farm did well. He and his wife picked up jobs in town to supplement their income. But it wasn't always easy.  He said he'd largely learned how to shrug off racial slurs, but one day a man in a bar threatened to kill his family. Mitchell said the man was motivated by racism. “I was minding my own business when I went to get just a cheeseburger and they started talking,” Henry Mitchell said. “Nobody is going to tell me what they're going to do to me or my family and walk away.” Mitchell shot and wounded the man, and was later found not guilty. But he said he learned to find peace with people in the mostly white community, and insists that there were way more good people in the area than bad. Tim Evans for MPR News Henry Mitchell poses for a portrait in Brooklyn Park on April 20, 2022. Even now, Henry Mitchell said he can't wait to get back to farming. He's hoping to do that at his old farm, where his daughter and her family have started a tree farm with plans to do more farming. They're envisioning it as a retreat for people who want to learn about agriculture.  Carrying on the legacy Jon Collins | MPR News Eugene Sublett and Luella Williams show a photo of the farm they grew up on. The experience of Black farmers in the state isn't uniform. Eugene Sublett and his family moved to a farm in 1970 when he was a young teenager. His father, who is also named Eugene, retired from the railroad, and had always been interested in farming. Sublett remembers what it was like moving from a Black middle-class family life in south Minneapolis to a rural farm with ducks, pigs, chickens and cows. “Twice a day every day milking cows and all the things that go with that: cleaning the barn, doing the crops, harvesting the crops, baling hay, getting everything ready,” Sublett said. “So it was a lot of work, and I think for the four of us, it was quite a transition.” Jon Collins | MPR News The Subletts on their farm near Ogilvie, Minn. in Kanabec County. (Seated) Eugene, (from right) Eugene, Delcie and Luella. Neither Sublett nor his sister Luella Williams remember any overt discrimination at the time, which they chalk up partly to the fact that their father, who was a minister, was famously gregarious. After their father experienced health problems, more of the farm chores fell to the children and their mother. After the elder Sublett died in 1983, they sold off the final animals.  But Williams said she still carries lessons from her time on the farm.  “I learned how to value and cherish things. Where today, kids don't like to value,” Williams said. “We worked for everything we got. And that's one thing I can say that came out of the whole ordeal.” Sublett and Williams bring their families to the land now, and still do some gardening there, sharing the farm they grew up on and their experiences with younger relatives. Angela Dawson, who said she still experiences discrimination in trying to get resources like federal loans, said her father was traumatized by losing the family's Iowa farm and lost touch with her family for years afterwards. She said her dad only ever really wanted to farm.  “He can't be in the city too long, he's not really into the trappings of urban life,” Dawson said. “I think there were a lot of people who never really adjusted to urban living.”  But Dawson's father, who was the last member of his family to be removed from their Iowa farm when their family lost the land, is planning to stay with them at their farm later this year. She's hoping to learn from her experience, as she carries on the family legacy. North Star Journey Celebrating Minnesota communities Pass the Mic What should we cover next?
