I speak at colleges all over the country, and twice in the last three weeks a speaking tour has routed me through St. Louis. Both times, I used the opportunity to visit Ferguson, MO.
Yesterday I saw a town that has—at least physically—made an amazing transformation from what the news networks have been reporting. Here are twenty-one photos I took, showing how the people of Ferguson have used the boarded-up storefronts to create amazing works of art that deliver a powerful message to the world.
