In this Jan 15, 2015, photo, Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Alan Page laughs during an interview in his chambers in St. Paul, Minn. Page, known as an NFL Hall of Famer with the Minnesota Vikings’ Purple People Eaters defensive line from the late 1960s into the late 70s, has spent 22 years as the first black justice on the state's highest court. That chapter will come to an end in August when he hits the mandatory retirement age of 70. (AP Photo/Jim Mone)
