In March of 1820, the Missouri Compromise was signed and the state of Missouri was born out of an insistence on the continued systematic subjugation and devaluation of Black lives. In March, April, and beyond during 2020—200 years later—COVID-19 is revealing that we are still very much grappling with that original sin.
The pandemic and its disproportionate effects on Black St. Louisans are pulling back the veil on our broken and inequitable systems. In this series we explore how COVID-19 has laid bare the ways we continue to compromise on our shared values and how we can use this crisis as an opportunity to catalyze Racial Equity. #StillCompromising
