6 Fires. 10 Days. 1 City.

All the fires were set at an exterior door of a predominantly black church here in St. Louis. If you'd like to join with others, Pastor Roderick Burton of New Northside Missionary Baptist Church invited the STL faith community to come together at his church (8645 Goodfellow Blvd) at noon on Wednesday to stay alert and pray.

INTIMIDATION WILL NOT CURB OUR RESOLVE FOR JUSTICE AND EMPOWERMENT!

“As we've said on many occasions previous in this space, you've got to acknowledge and accept how somebody feels. We have taken the humanity out of this whole experiment of community. These are not, respectful to the commission, simply strategies and recommendations, these are, in some cases, literally lifelines...for people to be able to not just live but to be respected and treated and honored to live as all of us are inalienably gifted to live, and it gets tiresome trying to explain to people why the hell it's important that you let me live!" -Rev. Willis Johnson
