Ms. Pauline Thomas works very hard for REAL social justice for people who are often ignored and underserved in the community. Ms. Young, I encourage you to go to the Minneapolis Library and read back issues of the Minnesota (Minneapolis) Spokesman-Recorder.
Eva-Nice to see you back on the list, I hope you can around a little longer this go around. EDITORIAL Sears project must uphold civil rights laws By: Pauline Thomas Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder Originally posted 10/29/2003 Many of you may know that our nonprofit organization, the Community Collaborative, has worked actively to ensure equal rights for minorities in publicly funded construction projects. As of this writing, the decision about who will be the developer for the old Sears Building, to be known as the Lake Street Center, is pending before the City of Minneapolis. The Center is a large project � more than one million leaseable square feet. It requires a substantial amount of public funding and will be located in an area that houses a relatively large concentration of people of color. By the time of this publication, the City and its Minneapolis Community Development Agency will probably have selected Ryan Companies as the developer for that site. http://www.spokesman-recorder.com/News/Article/Article.asp?NewsID=34030&sID=16 Shawn Lewis, Field Neighborhood Ward 8-11 -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup CareerBuilder.com has over 400,000 jobs.
