UND aims to fill in the blanks on historical call with Martin Luther King Jr.
To the best of UND’s knowledge, the interview on Oct. 18, 1959, was the only direct contact between King and UND, which makes it an event of tremendous historical significance for the university, according to Curt Hanson, head of Special Collections for the Chester Fritz Library. 4:14 pm, Jan. 12, 2021 ×

The mighty and all-knowing Polis is making a huge mistake. His policy of colors is wrong.
What should be instated instead is an “ID Check” similar to pot and liquor stores. The new rule should be as follows: Anyone older than 60 is restricted. These people will have to get their groceries delivered, and are not allowed to visit any restaurant in person, or any other activity that might present a “social distancing” issue. If they show up to such public places: check their ID and refuse service to those failing the ID Check. Simple.
Everyone else: Go out if you want. Stay home if you want. I know a ton of young 20- and 30-year-olds (and even older) that have had COVID-19, and guess what? In days, they are just fine. Open up the restaurants and bars, and everything else. Sure still wear a mask but release the stranglehold. Please.
