Meet former State Rep. Karen Clark, a true advocate for equality. She proudly held the title of the longest serving openly lesbian person in the U.S. In 2013, she introduced the first bill to legalize same-sex marriage in MN.

@CAdler911 Can you dig it?!

@dpbergin Is your background from the film "The Warriors"?

@danikathleen opening her LIFT symposium featuring her groundbreaking research on the Black community and the press. #idabwells would be proud! #choiceofweapns #freepress

@danikathleen @WKAR @MSUjschool Panel Time! #liftxshine w/ @DenetraWalker, @dpbergin & @HarryColbertJr discussing @danikathleen research and findings – about trust and being a representation of an institution when on the ground as a journalist.

@danikathleen @WKAR @MSUjschool The numbers don’t tell you the whole story,” @danikathleen says. In Minneapolis, people were showing the nuance in their coverage. People in newsrooms were doing hard work – which is purpose of the Lift project. “The problem is we’ve created a legacy of harm.” #liftxshine

@Ljhamlin1 Thank you for lifting up these stories! You are a part of the solution.

@dpbergin Dear Mr Bergin, I cannot thank you enough for your craft of storytelling. I would have said history, but we both know it is not in the past, as it still loves in our present. I have shared Jim Crow North with my kids - to talk about the need for deep pocket change.
