North Star Journey: Black farmers and COVID-19's disproportionate impact

Each Sunday we bring you a selection of reporting from the MPR News North Star Journey series.

Today, reporter Jon Collins brings us a story about how Black Farmers in Minnesota are reconnecting to the land.

Then, reporter Peter Cox explains how COVID-19 has had a disproportionate impact on Minnesota's Hmong community.

And finally, reporter Tim Nelson explains why some groups are pushing to change the images on Minnesota's flag.

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.

The series was made possible in part with funds from the Legacy Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
