On This Date in Minnesota History: September 1

September 1, 2008 – “The GOP convention opened at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn., in an abbreviated session due to Hurricane Gustav. Alaska’s Gov. Sarah Palin, GOP candidate for the vice-presidency, disclosed that her daughter, Bristol (17), [was] 5 months pregnant. An antiwar march drew some 10,000 people. Over 250 demonstrators were arrested as splinter groups smashed department store and police car windows.”
