Abstract
If there were a single central contribution that Minnesota has made to American history, it would be its leadership in civil rights, particularly advancing racial integration in schools and housing. No other area of its activity has had such a profound, positive impact on the nation’s law, culture and politics. Without Minnesota’s multiracial and bipartisan leadership, it hard to imagine the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the 1965 Voting Rights Act and the Fair Housing Act of 1968 – the landmark trio of the federal civil rights canon.
