    When legislators tied up Depression relief bills in the legislature in April 1933, #MN Governor Floyd B. Olson warned: "I shall declare martial law. A lot of people who are now fighting the measures because they happen to possess considerable wealth will be brought in by the provost guard. They will be obliged to give up more than they are giving up now." Picture by me, quote from spartacus-educational.com/USAo #Minnesota #MNHistory #mnleg #MinnesotaHistory #USHistory #History

    @ProPublica has created a database of museums and universities that are still holding remains of #Indigenous Americans in their collections, in violation of NAGPRA (the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990). #MinnesotaHistoricalSociety and #UofMN #Duluth have some work to do. projects.propublica.org/repatr
