Rabbi Telve asked if I would go to [the] Children’s Hospital [Ninth Annual Perspectives in Pediatrics Conference]. . . and talk about Ferguson.
That, that brings chills up your spine! . . . When you size up the audience, it was a bunch of white women who. . . live in west county, and all work with kids who are low-income, and some of [their patients] live in Ferguson! . . . How do you help people understand?. . .
Jason Purnell’s done a wonderful study called “For the Sake of All.” I used that study along with everything that I learned in [the] Ferguson [Uprising], and I put it together so that I didn’t sound like a wack-job. . . . How do you [prepare other protesters to] do that?
