We are outraged over the treatment of youth last weekend by the Mayor of St. Louis and SLMPD. After incidents were reported in North City, South City, and Downtown on 314 Day Weekend, the Mayor put a 10pm curfew in place for Downtown the following weekend. As a result, 23 youth from ages 11 to 17 were threatened, harassed, zip-tied, thrown into SLMPD vehicles, and taken to a non-disclosed location.
St. Louis – The 46th anniversary celebration of the Organization for Black Struggle was rescheduled due to the January snowstorm. This year’s event marked a significant departure from previous celebrations: the dinner portion was eliminated, and for the first time, the event included a partnership with the Museum Department of the University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL).
To the members of the OBS—both past and present, as well as those who have made their transition—we stand on their shoulders. In the spirit of Imani, we value their contributions to the freedom struggles.
