Michael Brown Jr. has become a symbol and a gateway for people to talk about racial injustice and policing. We explore how people view Brown’s legacy, what young adults today know about his story and how his memory has shaped new conversations about race and justice.

The new ‘talk’ and the legacy of Mike Brown

It’s been 10 years since Michael Brown Jr. was killed and the Ferguson Uprising that followed. To honor that history and reflect on where St. Louis is today, St. Louis Public Radio is bringing back the podcast “We Live Here” for a special season. 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.
