In the 1980s, Mic Crenshaw Worked to Confront White Supremacists in Minneapolis. Now He Raps and Speaks at Anti-Racist Protests in Portland.
Crenshaw’s connection to the current uprising run deep, not only because of his long history as an activist, but also because of where that history began—in the same city where police officers killed George Floyd. Crenshaw attended middle school and high school in Minneapolis, Minn., where he became a founding member of Anti-Racist Action, an organization that confronted white supremacists.
