Have you ever had a conversation about politics that grew into a heated argument or maybe the opposite — froze into a chilly silence?
Or maybe you just avoid talking with people who don’t share your opinions on issues you care deeply about.
MPR News with Angela Davis shares a conversation that will help you communicate better in a politically polarized time.
On April 24, a group of college students and other community members gathered for a workshop at the Historic Chateau Theatre in Rochester organized by MPR News, the University of Minnesota Rochester and Braver Angels, a nonprofit organization that seeks to restore trust, respect and goodwill in American politics.

The workshop was led by Braver Angels’ Co-Founder Bill Doherty and participants included conservatives, liberals and independents.

The first iPhone came out in 2007, when this year’s graduating high school seniors were toddlers learning to speak. Today, almost all high school students (95 percent) have access to a smartphone, according to the Pew Research Center.
Scrolling through social media posts has become central to young people’s lives, but there’s also a growing conversation about the downsides. Constant connectivity is linked to an increase in teen mental health struggles, attention problems and slumps in academic achievement.

And, at a small-town school in southeastern Minnesota high school students help out in the elementary school classrooms.

Four years ago this week, a movement to defund and abolish the Minneapolis Police Department ignited across the city and the world.
George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man and St. Louis Park resident, was killed by a Minneapolis police officer in the Powderhorn neighborhood of Minneapolis.
In those four years since his murder, everything — and nothing — has changed.
The Minneapolis Police Department was not defunded. And the city is still struggling to come to terms with what safety and accountability look like in the aftermath.
A new book traces how Minneapolis arrived at the brink of police abolition, and why true reform is so hard to come by.
It’s called “The Minneapolis Reckoning: Race, Violence and the Politics of Policing in America.”
MPR News host Angela Davis talked with the book’s author, sociologist Michelle Phelps.
Guest:
Michelle Phelps is an associate professor in the department of sociology at the University of Minnesota and the author of the new book, “The Minneapolis Reckoning: Race, Violence, and the Politics of Policing in America.”
