Richard H. Jefferson was a state legislator, chemist and advocate for the city of Minneapolis who as a state representative authored the bill that made Minnesota the fourth state in the country to recognize Juneteenth.
Remembered for his sense of humor, his ability to connect with people and his dedication to his north Minneapolis community, Jefferson died June He was Born in in Cincinnati, Ohio, Jefferson served in the U. Army during the Korean War, earned a bachelor's degree from Xavier University of Louisiana and became a chemist for the U. Bureau of Mines. It was as a resident of north Minneapolis and long before he ran for political office that Jefferson became involved in urban renewal, said Jackie Cherryhomes, former Minneapolis City Council president.
Jefferson was one of the founders of Pilot City, which is now known as Northpoint Health and Wellness Center, and was a co-founder of the Willard Homewood neighborhood organization. It wasn't until he was in his mids that Jefferson first ran for the state Legislature, becoming in the representative for the near North area and a portion of downtown Minneapolis. He would go on to serve six terms, bookending an unsuccessful bid for Minneapolis mayor in Jefferson was the fifth Black Minnesotan to serve in the Legislature, and for much of his tenure, the only Black member of the state House of Representatives.
He authored the Juneteenth legislation in , helped negotiate Minneapolis public facilities financing deals including the Target Center buyout and the Convention Center expansion, and in was the lone member of the Minneapolis House delegation to support the new Twins stadium.
State Sen. Bobby Joe Champion said Monday that he's pushing a Senate resolution to recognize Jefferson's contributions to the state; the resolution has also been sent to Gov. Tim Walz's office, he said.
When Jefferson retired from the Legislature, he told the in-house newsletter Session Weekly that he enjoyed helping people escape the bureaucracy of local government. Jefferson held an annual seafood cookout for decades that drew his family together, first at his house on Washburn Avenue in north Minneapolis and in later years to the cabin he shared with Johnson in Harris, Minn.
The cookout combined Jefferson's love of cooking and spending time with his children; he also found time to pursue golf, fishing and gardening, which saw him raising flowers and dozens of cactus in his backyard, Matthew Jefferson said. After leaving the state Legislature, Jefferson and Johnson traveled widely, seeing Cuba, Mount Kilimanjaro, Russia and other far-flung spots. I have gotten RJ like 5 times now. That trick works.
The only problem that I had was that I got RJ on the third ball drop and then had to endure 45 more drops. That would suck after jumping through all of the hoops so far.
I also pulled a HOF quick 1st step Out of my pink diamond unlimited box, HOF handles for days fir my badge at level 39, and got HOF worn out of limited 19 minutes before time window closed last night Also is my friend right now.
Has been my enemy. Matched up against 2 bots, who just passed to a ruby and chucked shots. Those were easy dubs. One bot made me nervous because Ruby Korver greened 3 contested shots lol. Matched up against a few guys who were horrible at the game, using 2 centers so I just offballed and dribbled around them for layups every time.
Lost one game in general. What was the best team tier wise you matched up against? Did not play with golds yet but as I was playing with ruby and Amys while doing XP I more often than not got matched up tiers higher. This is a piss take, cleared the board 5 or 6 times now. Ladies and gentlemen we got him after 3 boards on Friday and 2 on Saturday. I think I kept dropping right, but it went into yellow, jumped back out, and then bounced around for 5 more years before landing right.
If I have a board with Jefferson on it saved in redeem prize and I just won game 10, after I close app can I go ahead and do the drop even tho the board resets or do I have to make it back around to tier 3 before doing it?
