<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.

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 [. . .]
