St. Louis, MO once rose as the morning star of US imperialism. It has also been a laboratory of racial capitalism, from Indigenous genocide and the fur trade to the police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson. We talk with historian Walter Johnson (@abufelix12) and activist-artist Tef Poe (@TefPoe). Part 2 comes out next week.
