I graduated from Washburn in 1962. The class was over 600 people. There were about 20 students of color, all hard working kids and just regular people who were in the school activities, clubs and team sports. No gangs or violence ever. I moved out of Mn. in 1976 and used to look back fondly at the places we lived while I was growing up. Somalians came in the 1970’s ,I think., but several waves since too. My memory is that the Lutheren Church was involved (used) but probably pushed by the feds.
