"THE COLLAPSE OF THE ST. LOUIS SCHOOL SYSTEM"

"A MICROCOSM OF THE FAILURE OF AMERICA"

third side is a map of St. Louis

and on the fourth side, in restroom graffiti style:

"CHAIN YOUR MAYOR TO A PIPE IN YOUR BASEMENT"

"BEAT HIM TIL HE SINGS"

"IT'S YOUR FAULT TOO"

As this is an uncommisioned gift to the city of St. Louis, I doubt it will be there for very long. If you wish to view it, please feel free to pass by. I would guess that someone will damage and/or remove it within the next day or two.

THANKS,

Citizens COALITION TO FIGHT EMINENT DOMAIN ABUSE

ben — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 01:25:25 +0000

The Citizens Coalition to Fight Eminent Domain Abuse, a grassroots
organization formed in 2005 to address the abuse of Eminent Domain
particularly in north St. Louis, a primarily African American community.

An audit by HUD's Office of Inspectors General in July of 2006,
revealed the city had failed to use the federal community block grant
money (CDBG) it received for its intended purposes. The Coalition then
filed complaints with the U.S. Department of HUD and the U.S.
Department of Justice.

A STATE OF EMERGENCY now exists with race relations in St. Louis. The mayor just ousted and publicly humiliated the City’s first and only black fire chief, and then immediately promoted 27 white firefighters, while promoting only 7 blacks – in a city where blacks are 52% of the population.

Don Fitz: When fire chief Sherman George refused to make promotions within the Fire Department, Mayor Slay demoted him in early October. Why was there such an outcry in the Black community?
