Over 400 MinnPost members and friends gathered at the Cowles Center in downtown Minneapolis on Thursday, Oct. 11, to hear MinnPost editor Andrew Putz interview civil rights activist DeRay Mckesson. A reception at the Loews Minneapolis Hotel for sponsors was held prior to the event, and photographer Anna Min was on hand to capture the festivities.
