Thanks to Diamonds & Pearls, teens need not miss their proms due to lack of funds

By Caroline Joseph, Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder

It all comes down to the dress. Aside from a woman's wedding (and arguably her funeral), no occasion demands more physical primping and pampering than the ominous high school formal.  MORE »

Distrust of government could exclude many Blacks from Census

By James L. Stroud, Jr. , Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder

Historically, African Americans have led the way when it comes to disparities in many categories. African Americans were the largest ethnic group undercounted in the 2000 Census. At the same time, Whites were over-counted by an estimated 2.2 million people.MORE »

OPINION | Haiti: so far from God

By Ricardo Levins Morales, Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder

The powerful earthquake that struck Haiti shook loose reserves of generosity and heroism, both within and outside the devastated nation. But even as communities await the first signs of aid, predators are circling with plans for a "new" Haiti.MORE »

OPINION | Attacks against Somali community show need for St. Cloud human rights office

By Dr. Luke Tripp, Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder

A packet of hateful and derogatory depictions of the Prophet Muhammad engaged in bestiality was stapled to the telephone pole outside Deko Farah's St. Cloud shop in January 2010.

The musical, currently playing at Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, isn't an artistic breakthrough and it isn't the best show I expect to see all year, or even all month. It is, however, an energetic experience that's sure to meet audience expectations for a fun night out.
