Watch “A Time for Burning”, a 1966 American documentary film which explores the attempts of the minister of Augustana Lutheran Church in Omaha, Nebraska, to persuade his all-white congregation to reach out to "negro" Lutherans in the city's north side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrMKY2n-EPc
 
Listen to (and watch) the documentary “Listen! Please!” Testimonials from four distinguished Black Minnesota octogenarians about their definitions and experiences with systemic racism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jkRJ4Nq27k

Watch the movie, “Selma”, a 2014 movie depicting the events leading up to “Bloody Sunday” March 7, 1965 and ending with the march from Selma to Montgomery, AL. Available through many streaming services or on DVD through Ramsey County Library.
 
Read more about the use of racial covenants in Minnesota, particularly in the Twin Cities metro area, using the Mapping Prejudice website. Then find your own home property on the map to see if there has been the use of a racial covenant in your home’s history. https://mappingprejudice.umn.edu/
