MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The protest against racism is something retired Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Alan Page knows something about.

He is now sharing his views about the NFL protests during the National Anthem that have drawn so much attention this football season and created controversy.

Page, 72, was a force to be reckoned with as a Minnesota Viking in the 1970s, when he was one of the “Purple People Eaters.”

He later fought for justice as a state Supreme Court judge.

Now in retirement, Page is trying to shift the direction he feels the nation is going when it comes to racial inequalities.
