“I have known all my adult life that racism was a scourge where I live. I presumed my generation would stand up. When the young black people of Ferguson rose up and resisted racialized brutality and the militarized response to the community’s grief, I said to myself, I would be a coward and a hypocrite if I did not actively participate in the resistance.” -Bob Hudgins, city council candidate for ward 2 of Ferguson.
