Thread 1/6: By now you've probably seen that @WCCO photojournalist @Dymanh was attacked by this knucklehead Wednesday in Duluth, covering activity near a campaign rally for President Trump.

I was the one who assigned him to this story & he agreed without hesitation, as always.
2/6: He is my colleague and my friend. But, more that, he is one of the many @wccophotogs and reporters who put their health and safety at risk every day in order to tell stories which are important to the community.

But, his story is exceptional…
3/6: Dymanh was born in a Thai refugee camp, after his family fled their homeland of Cambodia in search of food and stability.

When he arrived in MN he endured bullying and racism, often getting suspended for fighting.

He endured, earned his citizenship & graduated college.

Valentina was my @PeaceCorps host mother in #Ukraine in 2007. She loved life and her family, and treated me like a son. Before I married Heidi I brought her to Valentina, as my parents were already gone. Valentina died Friday in Kamchatka, Russia at 82. I am heartbroken. ImageImageImageImage
She left #Kozelets, Ukraine a few years ago after Andrey, the love of her life, passed away. The way the looked at each other and flirted, after 40 years together, brought me so much joy.

Recently she returned to her homeland of #Siberia, as if to see it one last time. Image
When I moved into their home I spoke little Russian & they spoke no English. It was a challenge but we quickly formed a bond.

She taught me how to cook, drink vodka, and which women were worth pursuing. But most importantly she loved me, an American she had no obligations to.

I just rode into @WCCO and saw looters inside Ruth's Chris Steak House and heard people talking about going for the safe. #minneapolisriots Image

Mile 0: 3 of my passions are (post) Soviet culture, cycling and hip-hop music. Today I intend to combine the three by riding my bicycle, while listening to hip-hop music, and traveling to various local sites related to Soviet/Russian culture. Follow along, won't you? #SovietMN Image
Mile 5: Booth Manor, Minneapolis. Nearly one-third of the residents in this @salarmynorth senior living facility speak Russian. Two of its residents are among the 37 Soviet WWII veterans who live in Minnesota, 75 years after the Великая Отечественная война ended. #RussiaInMN ImageImage
Mile 11: The @MuseumRusArt is the only museum in the United States dedicated to Russian & Soviet art and culture. It is truly a gem, just of off 35W in South Minneapolis. #RussiaInMN ImageImage

THREAD: Lots of musicians are making Coronavirus/COVID-19 related music.

Here is a sample of what's out there.

Let's being with Fagaru Ci Coronavirus by Senegalese group @YENAMARRE_SN.

This song is focused on education/awareness, as best I can tell:
Here's a jam from Dominican Dembow singer Yofrangel 911.

It's a little too intense for my taste:
(Slightly) closer to home is this ditty from country singer
@BuddyBrownMusic, simply titled "The Coronavirus Song."

THREAD.

During Feb. I will be highlighting black Minnesotans, from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Their contributions to our state & nation are too often overlooked.

In this 1958 @MNSpokesman image the Dominoes MC club prepares for a ride to Canada.

@MNSpokesman I-94 construction decimated the predominantly black Rondo neighborhood in St. Paul in the 50s & 60s. Sections had colorful names including Oatmeal Hill & Cornmeal Valley. Businesses such as the Credjafawn Co-Op and Booker T Cafe & Tavern were lost to history.

#BlackHistoryMonth ImageImageImageImage
@MNSpokesman In the mid 1800's St. Paul schools were segregated and the 'colored school' was described as "in a very dilapidated condition." In 1869 the MN state legislature mandated that schools be desegregated. Sadly, a legacy of gaps in achievement remain today in MN.
