Today on WJON's 2-Cent Tuesday listeners voiced their opinions about our Somali immigrants/refugees who have relocated to St. Cloud. Listeners cited their experiences and what makes them feel they way they feel.

I talked with Denny Smith today on WJON about the upcoming Diversity seminar at the St. Cloud Public Library tonight from 7:00 - 8:30pm. The seminar is called "Embracing Diversity: Making St. Cloud Safe and Welcoming for All People".
