Facts and practical information

St. Paul's Rondo Neighborhood was the center of the black community in the Twin Cities for much of the 20th century. The Rondo neighborhood consisted of a working-class community, supported by social clubs, religious organizations, community centers and a thriving business community. It was demolished between 1956 and 1968, to make way for the construction of the I-94 freeway. Over 500 families were displaced from the neighborhood, as well as many businesses and community locations. ()
