Suspended Futures - Digging into early grade suspensions

It’s been 10 years since Michael Brown Jr. was killed and the Ferguson Uprising that followed.

In the show, host Chad Davis and producer Danny Wicentowksi reflect on some of the truths that Ferguson exposed, why there still is an open wound a decade later, and how community members continue to push for a better future.
