Event description: As part of the OccupySLU 10th Anniversary events, we will be hosting a screening of the documentary Whose Streets? to contextualize OccupySLU within the broader Black Lives Matter movement and Ferguson October. Whose Streets?, directed by activists Sabaah Folayan and Damon Davis, offers an unflinching look at the Ferguson uprising following the police killing of Michael Brown. Told through the voices of those who lived through it, Whose Streets? captures the raw emotion, grief, and determination of residents, parents, artists, and teachers as they mobilize against systemic injustice. By connecting this moment to OccupySLU, the screening will explore how these local and national movements for racial justice are interwoven, and how, as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
