A Protest for Justice - A Regional IssueIn light of the recent news in Ferguson I wanted to post photos I took when I went there to see first hand what was happening. As I sat nursing my broken leg watching and reading the news of the events that led up to the protests I felt uneasy and saddeded to see my city and comminities so broken and hurting. I had to go there. I took my kneeling scooter into the crowed and whitnessed a peaceful community of all races united together with one voice. As I read and watched the news I saw such a misunderstanding of our city. I recommend the following links for a history of Ferguson and St. Louis for greater understanding.  August 17 ·  · Taken at Ferguson, Saint Louis, Missouri  LINKS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING IN FERGUSON   Missouri Complicated History http:// www.newrepublic.com/ article/119106/ferguson-missouris-complicated-history-poverty-and-racial-tensionWhats really happening in Ferguson? http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/rebellion_in_ferguson_a_rising_heat_in_the_suburbs_20140817See More on FB: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.819411578093273.1073741853.154322501268854&type=1Man shakes cops hand notice the young men in the background looking on with fear and confusion.   ©Phoebe Landrum Photography Young girl ...
