Ferguson: The Issues Behind the Uprising

The Laura Flanders show streams from www.GRITtv.org. Systemic issues like housing segregation, an absence of good jobs, and poor access to resources like education and food continue to play a central role in reproducing poverty and violence in Black communities like Ferguson. Local activists Jeanina Jenkins, Tef Poe, and Dr. Marva Robinson, as well as Pittsburgh-based artist Jasiri X, explain how these issues played out in Ferguson and how their own lives have been affected by them.
