As the suburbs grow in population and political clout, both rural and urban
Minnesota face the possibility of being ignored by the state's political
forces. MPR's Katherine Lanpher will host the discussion from Crookston and
Al McFarlane, President and CEO of Insight News will lead the discussion at
Lucille's. |

More than 30 citizens will join the broadcast in each location along with
State Rep. Gregory Gray and former state Rep. Randy Staten of the Coalition
of Black Churches at Lucille's and U of M-Crookston Chancellor Don Sargeant
and State Rep. Rod Skoe in Crookston. The Minnesota Citizens' Forum is a collaboration between MPR, The Star Tribune, and KTCA-TV to bring citizens together to discuss current events and community issues. Crookston/Lucille's Kitchen: The Political Realities is a joint effort between The Minnesota Citizens' Forum and the established Insight/KMOJ Public Policy Forum to elevate this dual community discussion to a statewide audience. The Insight/KMOJ Public Policy Forum at Lucille's began in 1996, as a chance for members of the community to bring their issues and concerns to the editorial staff of Insight News. Conversations, held over plates of eggs and grits, provided Insight writers with feedback, story ideas and valuable connections. Since its inception The Forum has consistently connected the community with politicians and pundits, scholars and spiritual leaders, activists and artists. |
