Not in Our Neighborhood

In 1924 St. Paul, Nellie and William Francis, prominent African American leaders, confront violent opposition after moving into an all-white neighborhood. Cross burnings, threats, and intimidation cannot shake their resolve. With the NAACP’s backing and eventual city action, they challenged the neighborhood’s segregated barriers. This powerful play retraces their courage and lasting fight for justice.
A play by Eric Wood and Tom Fabel. Directed by Chad Snyder.

Making a better world for our Children, our Grandchildren, and Ourselves!
The Minnesota Capitol was the site of the inaugural Senior Caucus rally on April 30, 2025. We rallied in protest of the federal administration cuts and threats to Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, Veterans Health care, and supports for people with disabilities. Approximately 700 seniors and supporters rallied with us. Many interesting speakers engaged the crowd.
Who We Are
We are seniors affiliated with the MN Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) who created the DFL Senior Caucus in order to influence government on behalf of anyone 55 or older. We believe what Paul Wellstone said: “We all do better when we all do better!”
