Harry Singh's Original Caribbean Restaurant has been operating since 1983.

Artist, Peyton Scott Russell, designed a portrait of this legend of the Minneapolis food scene. After it gets fabricated as a steel panel portrait, it will be installed near 26th and Nicolett Avenue.

Inclusion is a verb.
In the same way that love is a verb.
It only matters if you *do it*. Saying it is not enough.
