RECKLESS EYEBALLIN' by Britt Robson


Longtime civil rights activist and 
agitator Ron Edwards talks about the 
city he loves and hates


By Britt Robson


Go to a meeting of the Minneapolis 
city council, the civil rights commission, 
a community gathering at Lucille's Kitchen, 
or any of a dozen other places where city 
policy is being discussed and implemented, 
and you're likely to see Ron Edwards perched 
in a corner or camped in the back of the room,
 taking it all in. Tune to Channel 17 at 
5:00 p.m. on a Sunday, and you'll see him 
again on Black Focus, recounting the week's 
hot issues with minimal notes and plenty of 
candor, delivering a rambling but ultimately coherent 30-minute soliloquy that's 
likely 
to include behind-the-scenes 
details--municipal machinations and motivations 
that you won't get anywhere 
else.
