City Pages 25th Anniversary Issue

Nellie Stone Johnson is one of the great undersung heroes of Minnesota politics--the first African-American elected to citywide office (in 1944) and a matriarch to the local labor, civil rights, and feminist movements.

After this 1991 profile appeared, she became a friend and mentor--and relentless dispenser of advice--to several writers on City Pages' staff. She died in 2002 at the age of 96.
