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.

Sears project must uphold civil rights laws

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.
