During Reading Week, I traveled to Ferguson with Tyler Orem and Mary Kathryn Dean and McCormick alumni Nayoung Ha and MinWon Song. We went with the Korean American Resource and Cultural Center (KRCC) and other non-profit organizations like Black Youth Project, the Workers Center for Racial Justice, Chicago Workers Collaborative and others to protest against police brutality and racism in St. Louis and Ferguson, MO.
To analyze all that happened in this demonstration in a small article is impossible, so I will focus on one particular event: the protest march on Saturday, October 11th in downtown St. Louis. I will talk about it from my perspective: a Latino guy with the “privilege” of living in the United States of America and born with US citizenship.
During the march, people from around the country gathered to protest against police brutality. The diversity of the thousands of people that were there was immense. You could see African Americans, Africans, Latin@s, Latin@-Americans, Eastern Asians, Western Asians, Gays, Lesbians, Straight, Trans, Clergy members, Lay people, non-religious, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Jewish, etc.
