    In 1905, St. Paul resident Fredrick McGhee was one of 32 men who began the Niagara Movement, calling for full civil liberties and a stop to racial discrimination. This movement pushed for the beginning of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

    In January of 1905, Minnesota's third state capitol building opened to the public. After a fire destroyed the first capitol building and the second one was too small for the growing state government, there was a need for a larger and more fireproof building.
