The View From Your Protest: St Louis
A reader writes:
Wow! For a community that keeps getting kicked in the gut, the vibes
were very positive today in Saint Louis. Over a thousand people showed
up on the first bitterly cold day of winter to hear the mayor, the
president of the Board of Alderman (who gave a particularly good speech
that I will send you if I can find a video or transcript), state
representatives, activists, and ordinary citizens speak up for
equality. There was anger, yes, and a tinge of sadness, but hope really
seemed to rule the day in each of the speeches, and in the mood of the
crowd.
