MPR News on Monday launched a series of stories exploring the history and culture of Minnesota communities.

North Star Journey is a celebration of communities in Minnesota and the champions who are doing the work that we should be bringing a voice to. We hope to bring new understandings of our state and what brought us to today. 

MPR News editor Brandt Williams joined host Cathy Wurzer to talk about the reporting behind North Star Journey. He also talked about his report on Minnesota names.

North Star Journey was made possible in part with funds from the Legacy Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
