American Indian Movement (AIM) Occupation of the Twin Cities Naval Air Station, 1971

On the evening of May 17, 1971, dozens of protesters organized by the American Indian Movement (AIM) took over the soon-to-close Twin Cities Naval Air Station at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The take-over was part of a nationwide effort by native activists to reclaim land abandoned by the U.S. government. The occupation ended four days later with the expulsion of the protesters, but the incident succeeded in raising public awareness about American Indian grievances. AIM’s strategy of confrontation soon led to other high-profile stand-offs including, most famously, the 1973 siege of Wounded Knee.

Rock-Throwing Co-op Occupier, Minneapolis, 1975

Tensions between two factions in the rapidly expanding Twin Cities food cooperative movement escalated into open hostilities on May 5, 1975. A group calling itself the Co-op Organization (CO) took over the People’s Warehouse, a cooperative food distribution center located in Minneapolis’s West Bank neighborhood. The CO was a politically motivated group focused on empowering the working class. Their opponents were idealistic “hippies” who just wanted to provide healthful and socially-responsible alternatives to the big grocery stores. The CO’s occupation of the People’s Warehouse, while tactically successful, was a strategic blunder. Its whole-foods opponents responded to the takeover by boycotting the warehouse and establishing an alternative food distribution system. In the months that followed, CO activists occasionally resorted to violence and intimidation in their attempts to take control. They did not succeed. In the end, they just came off as a bunch of Marxist bullies.

Prince Appears On The Cover Of Rolling Stone For The First Time 30 Years Ago Today

The first notes of the Minneapolis sound were heard in a big brick house in North Minneapolis, an aging, primarily black section of town that draws outsiders only to the Terrace Theater, a movie house designed to look like a suburban backyard patio, and the Riverview Supper Club, the nightspot a black act turns to after it has polished its performance on the local chitlin circuit. North Minneapolis is a poor area by local standards, but a family with not too much money can still afford the rent on a whole house. It was there that Bernadette Anderson, who was already raising six kids of her own by herself, decided to take in a doe-eyed kid named Prince, a pal of her youngest son, André.
