Day
December 27, 2022 | Justin Ferrugia TD ‘23+1
“Do the work!” This has become a command of the historically underrepresented, oppressed, and marginalized to their allies and others. It can be meant as a call to action, a cry for help, and an expression of the deep desire for change — for movement towards justice.
How (Not) To Renew a City
December 31, 2021 | by Amelia Dilworth BR’23
The Pruitt-Igoe housing projects sink into the ground one broken window at a time, sections of buildings falling in waves like rows of wounded soldiers faltering to their knees before collapsing in the rubble. Smoke rises from the ground, the same color as the crumbling gray walls. Apartments lay in the rubble ripped open like carcasses. Half-exploded buildings kneel in the remains of their brothers, awaiting destruction.
This is St. Louis, Missouri. America is bombing its own city.
