However, it was not the op-
portunity for work that brought
the early Negro settlers to Mime
sofa, for work was to be secured.
more abundantly, in the South
than in Minnesota. It was the freer
atmosphere of the state-the bet
terment of conditions, the opening
of new avenues of gaining a live
hhood. There was the belief that
in Minnesota, where Governor
Ramsey had offered the first ten
der of troops from any quarter
to serve the Union cause, where
phone ering Minnesotans were
stepped in Jacksonian frontier
democracy, that here, in the great
Northwest, would also evolve bet
ter economic and political pat
terms.
The regret has ben expressed
that the Negroes had not settled
on the good farm land of Min
nesota. While this is true, it is
also understandable why they did
not. Slavery was established in
order to cultivate the land in the
South; and even if Negroes had
had enough money to buy good
land, and even if, with money
they had been permitted to do so
in all probability Vahy would have
remained in the COS as urban
jewellers. They had been on the
land for over two centuries and
were sick and tired of it. Some
of them were excellent farmers
but farming for most of them car.
ried in their minds the stigma OF
slavery.
In a sense it is regrettable, for
the racial groups that settled or
the good. farming soil are the
groups that have grown in mum,
bers and in economic resources.
Nevertheless, in some ways, the
employment opportunities were
not as much restricted then as
now. A case in point is the Boone
family. John Alfred Boone and his
brother Joseph Mccullough, left
Wilmington City, North Carolins
with their wives before the out
break of the Civil War. They

Anthony Freeway group, and the
NAACP.
Many Of the affected persons
claim to have been restricted by
realtors in the possible selection Of
a new home by the realtors re-
fusal to show them properties list
ed outside Of the ghetto area.
Another major item calling
forth much heated discussion is
the states eleventh hour contest
ing Of the awards TO many resi-
dents. According to NAACP Of
ficials, This seth day contesta-
ton doesn't speak very highly Of
the states motives. Many of the
individuals involved were them
selves dissatisfied with the APP
praisals they received. However,
because Of the high cost Of con-
testing such appraisals, they &C
oepted the scheduled awards with
out a court fight"
Leonard Carter, NAACP presi-
dent, stated. None Of the awards
were above the current market
value. Most Of them were lower
o. because Of the appraisers tendency
to conform to tradition by eonsid-
ering the presence Of Negroes in
the neighborhood- In not one sing
lie instance was the fact that equal
housing viii cost the Negro more
because OF his color taken into
consideration
Another sore spot in the two
hour discussion was the seeming
