Minnesota's pardons board voted 3-0 to pardon Max Mason, one of several traveling circus workers accused in the 1920 case. Gov. Walz, a member of the board, called it “100 years overdue.”
The man did not mention any attack when dropping off Tusken at her parents’ house but related the story to his father the next morning, the summary said.
“Racial terror is not limited to one section of our country,” Ellison, who is also overseeing the case against the Minneapolis police officers charged in Floyd's death, said before the vote. “It may have taken place more frequently in some places, but there’s not an inch of our country that doesn’t need to address this critical issue.”
Among those speaking in support of the pardon was Duluth police Chief Mike Tusken, a grandnephew of Irene Tusken's.
