10 Years After Ferguson: What the Movement Taught Us, Where We Go From Here

August 9th, 2024, commemorated the 10th anniversary of Michael Brown Jr.’s tragic death at the hands of a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. This event ignited widespread protests, galvanized a movement for justice, and catalyzed calls for systemic reform across the nation. Join us for an engaging dialogue featuring leaders in the fight for justice as we examine the enduring impact of Ferguson and its continuing influence on today’s social and political dynamics. Reflecting on the changes made and the challenges that persist, we will discuss what the next decade might hold for justice reform and racial equity, envisioning a future shaped by the lessons learned from Ferguson.
