@fulanigirl Without being in all of those places, it's hard to know if they all played out in a similar way.
It's possible that MSP took lessons from those that came before, and all those lessons coalesced with "Minnesota Nice" to make something different.
I don't think any other city got to the point of a general strike, for instance.

@solitha @andrewstroehlein We do know how it played out. The whistles were from Chicago. Faith leaders in Portland etc. Rapid Responders in ALL the cities. The general strike was because a white person was killed. She shouldn't have been killed but that's what grabbed the news and the community (white) that finally got the message of what has been going on. People are working on a nationwide strike through Indivisible before anyone was killed.
