So You Know

The Memorial Burns There are two memorials on Canfield, one memorial in the middle of the street where Mike Brown died and another memorial on the sidewalk. The memorial on the sidewalk was set ablaze early Tuesday morning.

The Tale of Two Cities Throughout the police occupation of Ferguson following the fatal shooting of Mike Brown residents near Canfield have spoken about there being a “black side” and a “white side.” Community organizers for the “I love Ferguson" campaign have created their own newsletter with first hand accounts of their experiences living through the Ferguson Protests.

Brueggermann on Ferguson In this interview, noted Old Testament scholar Walter Brueggeman offers a range of commentary on Ferguson, from readings of the prophetic lament to ways that we compensate “for the defining sin of slavery.” Necessary, succinct, powerful read.

White Side Only T-shirts? Treasurer Redmond says she does not see any people of color wearing the “I love Ferguson” shirts. "I don’t have to wear a t-shirt because my deep love of humanity is written on my heart."

Segregation’s Long Shadow For context on the racial segregation present in St. Louis, this article is invaluable as it highlights national data related to housing segregation and then situates this data squarely in the context of St. Louis and Ferguson. Important read.

The Cost of UnrestIn this brief article, it is revealed that St. Louis County has spent approximately $4 million participating in Ferguson related events.

Colorblind Justice? Important in that it includes a study of racial perceptions of fairness conducted after the initial events in Ferguson, this article concisely provides a grounding in the differences in perspective that different racial groups have towards an understanding of equality and justice.

From Obama’s UN General Assembly remark, a reference to the incident in Ferguson:

“I realize that America’s critics will be quick to point out that at times we too have failed to live up to our ideals; that America has plenty of problems within our own borders. This is true. In a summer marked by instability in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, I know the world also took notice of the small American city of Ferguson, Missouri – where a young man was killed, and a community was divided. So yes, we have our own racial and ethnic tensions. And like every country, we continually wrestle with how to reconcile the vast changes wrought by globalization and greater diversity with the traditions that we hold dear.”
