African Americans have lived in Minnesota since the late 1800s, and in the latter part of that century, some of them became the state's first black lawyers, doctors, and political officials. As part of Black History Month, FOX 9 dove more into who some of the early pioneers were.

At the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, thousands of terrified New Yorkers fled the city, which had fast become an epicenter for the virus. Alexander Goldfarb had the opposite response.
The doctor immediately drove to Queens, New York, to treat patients at Elmhurst Hospital, which had been decimated by the virus and suffered a shortage of healthcare providers. He worked at the hospital for a week straight, intubating around six patients every night.
âAll of this was a great risk to himself,â said Robert S. Brown â59, a longtime colleague of Goldfarbâs. At the time, personal protective equipment was in short supply, but Goldfarb âcared about his patients and wanted to save lives.â
