Michael Brown

Is change possible?

In the aftermath of the St. Louis County grand jury's decision to not indict Officer Darren Wilson in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, I'm not so sure.

At the very least, I see no clear path to a better conversation on race, class, privilege and the abuse of power.

When I was 16 I was picked up for shoplifting, among other things, some makeup from my neighborhood grocery store.
