<strong>IN THE LATE 1940S</strong> and into the 1950s, the Minnesota Council of Churches and a group called the Committee on Race Relations sponsored a program that sent city kids to the countryside to experience a taste of farm life. A good many of the city kids were black, while the farms were in parts of rural Minnesota and Wisconsin that were 100 percent white, or close to it. The visits must have been eye-opening for both groups.<br /><br />In 1948 a <em>Dispatch</em> photographer took this picture of eight youngsters at the St. Paul bus depot as they returned from their sojourn in the country, and what a handsome group they are. The star of the picture is the little guy in front, identified as Archie Anderson (his brother Roger, in an identical shirt, is to his right). Hands on hips, hat tilted at a jaunty angle, Archie looks ready to take on the world.<br /><br />It was, of course, still a largely segregated world for these kids in 1948. Their home addresses in St. Paul tell the story. All of the youngsters lived in or near the old Rondo neighborhood, where the city's small but vibrant black community had been concentrated for decades. But even though de facto segregation was still a powerful reality in St. Paul and other northern cities in the late 1940s, change was coming. In fact, just a day after this photograph appeared in the <em>Dispatch</em>, President Harry Truman signed a historic executive order barring segregation in the U.S. military.<br /><br />The program that sent inner-city kids from St. Paul to rural areas continued into the 1950s. In 1951 <em>Pioneer Press </em>photographer D. C. Dornberg took a series of pictures of mostly black kids from St. Paul enjoying their visit to the farm. Headlined [. . .]

Welcome Hall Wins Cage Championship
Welcome Hall defeated Central Presbyterian, 32 to 26, Saturday night for the championship of the Central District Y.M.C.A. Church League.
The champions will meet the winner of the Midway Y Church league for the city church championship. Rhedus Fletcher, a former Mechanic Arts player, was outstanding for the winners.
St. Paul's All-City high school basketball players selected by the Pioneer Press met each other formally in the Pioneer Press studio Thursday afternoon when the above picture was taken and talked the past cage championship over. Eight men were selected this year instead of the usual five to give the team added strength which would carry through the stiffest of opposition without weakening the club at any position. With the fast break featuring almost every team's offensive drives, few if any clubs depended on five men to carry the brunt of the work and in most cases reserves played and important part in the season's campaign. Therefore an eight-man team was selected. The eight players are pictured above. Left to right, they are Ralph Pariana, [?] Johnson, guard; Harold Beck[?] of Johnson, forward; Rhedus Fletcher of Mechanic Arts, center; [....]
The team representing Welcome Hall Christian Center won the Central Y.M.C.A. Church Basketball League championship this past season. On the champions' roster, left to right, were: front row--John Nelson, Harold Goldstein, Donald Jackson and Rufus Carson; back row--Physical Director Leslie Warren, Maurice Bellamy, Mike Lipgot and Rhedus Fletcher.
