I appreciate the historical background as a context for what happened to Michael Brown. In view of Trump's recent election, it's clear that we have a very long way to go. On another note, you make the statement that "Ferguson’s population declined significantly (nearly 40%) from about 21,200 to 18,500". As a math teacher I have to point out that the decline is a little less than 13%, not 40%. This doesn't diminish the impact of such an exodus.
Thanks for pointing that out Bob. I'm not clear how I got it so wrong, as I'm usually very good with numbers. I will make the correction in my next post. I'm glad you're reading the newsletter. I can see how many people open the newsletter but have no clue who's actually reading or what links they click on . If there are any areas/issues/solutions you'd like to see me explore, let me know. I hope you and Sharon are doing well. Steve
