Comments

A former resident of Biwabik said: “In the time we lived there, I recall precisely one family with Black foster children. All were under the age of 18 and were foster children or adoptees of one family who attended the church my parents served as co-pastors. I visited two summers ago, and the demographics haven’t seemed to change.”

Not confirmed sundown town.
