KFAI's MinneCultureThe Long, Dark Shadow of Minnesota's Eugenic Sterilization ProgramBetween 1925 and 1945, 2,204 people — 77% of whom were women — were eugenically sterilized in Minnesota. Minnesota's sterilization program targeted "sexually promiscuous" women and impoverished people. The intended goal of the program was to lessen poverty and welfare costs by ending the family lines of people deemed "immoral" or "feebleminded." A woman named Rose DeChaine was sterilized by this program. But her sterilization didn't end or fix any of her family's problems. Instead, Rose's time in the system set off a chain of hurt and dislocation that continues to echo throughout her family into the present day.2025-04-0339 minKFAI's MinneCultureSeason 9 premieres March 27!Season 9 of MinneCulture drops on March 27.

The meat industry was often the first to innovate and make use of modern technologies: from the railroad and refrigerated cars to meat packing plants' dis-assembly lines that inspired Henry Ford’s assembly line. This is especially true for Minnesota. The University of Minnesota was the first university to specialize in meat studies with the opening of the Andrew Boss Meat Lab. South Saint Paul’s stockyards and meat packing plants were once the largest in the world. In the past hundred and fift...2023-01-0524 min

What it’s like to do forty years in prison while close enough to see the tourists of San Francisco? And what do you do when you get out? The crushing irony of finally getting the freedom you need, but when you get it your mind and body still act as if you’re locked up?

But, fear not, this episode is about much more than just green thumbs behind bars. It’s about the food people in prison eat and how plants and life can help those who have harmed others and themselves heal. Also, an odd story about double entendres and Facebook censorship in Buffalo NY.
