Photos: Mohamud Mumin's Somali youth exhibit

For years, photographer Mohamud Mumin watched as a tiny minority of Somali-Americans -- like those who left Minnesota to join the radical Islamic militia group al-Shabab -- made headlines. Mumin wanted to refocus attention on the more positive, and more representative, happenings in the Somali community. In 2010, he began capturing the images of young Somali men and documenting their efforts to improve the lives of those around them. On March 24, 2012, the Whittier Gallery in Minneapolis, Minn., launched an exhibition of his work.

(AP) - Moderate, secular and well-educated people propelled Mitt Romney to victory in Ohio's Republican presidential primary on Tuesday, an exit poll of voters showed. Rick Santorum drew robust support from the state's most ardent conservatives and eked out a modest margin among the working class, whom he has targeted in his drive to slow Romney's march toward the GOP nomination.
