Toni Carter ’75 serves on the Board of Commissioners for Ramsey County, the second-most populous county in Minnesota with its seat at St. Paul, the state capital. The first African American ever to serve on a county board in Minnesota, her interest in public service was sparked during her first year at Carleton, in 1971. She joined a busload of Carls on a trip to Mississippi, where they participated in a voter registration drive. That trip had a profound impact on her, and was the foundation for her ongoing commitment to work for communities that are typically excluded from the democratic process.
