Show Notes

Ken welcomes long-time listener, Darcy McKenzie. She lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, not far from George Floyd Square, where Derek Chauvin pressed his knee on his victim's neck resulting in a death viewed by millions around the world. Darcy shares her experience, which includes a Prayer Tent on the site of the square providing space for people to come together from all walks of life. She also tells the story of the Henry Sibley High School that took a deep dive into the history of the first governor of Minnesota and his relationship with the Dakota Tribe. History nearly forgotten came to life and a community rallied together to recognize the sins of the past, honoring the memory of those who lost their lives near the merging of the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers. The school became Two Rivers High School.   SHOW NOTES.
