#Ferguson Revisited: #MichaelBrown, #DarrenWilson, and race relations in the US

On August 9, 2014 Michael Brown, an unarmed young black man in Ferguson, MO, was killed by a white police officer. Last week a St Louis County grand jury decided not to return an indictment on Darren Wilson, the police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown. 

The community is divided and outraged and public outcry is showing no sign of abating. The city, county, and state goovernments seem to have bungled this case every step of teh way.

From Emmett Till to Trayvon Martin to Sean Bell to Eric Garner to Michael Brown, this is an all too familiar scene in this country. 

The New York City grand jury investigating the killing of Eric Garner by chokehold has just returned a no-indictment on the police officer involved. 

Join us and special guest Deborah Jacobs, a St Louis-based policy expert and activist,  for a discussion of the Michael Brown shooting and the aftermath and the devaluation of young black life in America and what we can do about it.

Please call 347-850-8445 to join the discussion.
