Harry and Clementine Robinson were one of a handful of Black families who owned homes more than a century ago in what is now the whitest part of Minneapolis. When reporter Eric Roper moved into the same house where the Robinsons lived, he became determined to find out who they were and what happened to them. The Minnesota Star Tribune produced a six-part podcast series covering his findings. We have the first two episodes for you here, and if you want to listen to the rest of the series, you can find the link below.
