Melvin Carter grew up "right here," he says, standing outside the Martin Luther King Recreation Center in St. Paul. Before heading to Florida A&M to run track, he would run the sidewalks of the Rondo neighborhood in St. Paul, where his family has lived for three generations. "We have some really incredible history in St. Paul, in all of our neighborhoods. And that's our best foundation to build our future on."
