City of Minneapolis, MN / Black History Month 2023

The Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights is honoring several community leaders as part of the History Makers at Home program – a profile series featuring inspirational leaders in a wide range of fields.

Whether “home” is defined as a city, region, or state, we are honoring those in their communities who work every day to uphold our ideals of advancing civil rights and removing barriers to equity. History Makers at Home recognizes leaders in the areas of business, criminal justice, education, economic development, health, housing, and government.

This event is part of the Minneapolis Black Employee Network's celebration of Black History Month.
