The Council on Black Minnesotans is a state government body based in St. Paul, Minnesota. It was established by the Minnesota Legislature in 1980 to ensure that people of African heritage can participate fully and benefit equitably from the state's political, social, and economic resources, policies, and procedures. Its statutory duties are defined in Minnesota Statute 3.9225, which details its role within government administration. With a very small staff, the council operates as part of Minnesota's public sector to identify and help address barriers to inclusion in state programs and decision-making processes. Its work targets residents of Minnesota who are of African heritage, aiming to improve access to resources and opportunities created by state policies. The council maintains a presence through the state's official channels, with information available on mn.gov.
