| Abstract
|
:
|
"The 2014 shooting death of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, by a white police officer in Ferguson, MO, ignited a movement focused on criminal justice, race relations, economic disparity, and many more inequalities. Among the many newly recognized leaders in the movement were St. Louis area clergy. Leah Gunning Francis was among those religious leaders, and her interviews with more than two dozen clergy takes us behind the scenes of the protests' violent birth and the longer reconciliation the area faces in the wake of Brown's death-demonstrating that being called to lead a faithful life can take us to places we never expected to go"--Publisher's description.
