Picture
The city of St. Louis is considering leasing St. Louis Lambert International Airport to a private company. Such a deal could bring a cash windfall to the city.
Get the full story.
In September Tresor Phanzu, a married family man was falsely accused of shoplifting by employees at the Saks Off Fifth Avenue at the St. Louis Premium Outlet location. Tresor was arrested at his home in Chesterfield by 5 aggressive officers from the Chesterfield Police Department and forced under duress to prove his innocence though he had committed no crime. The St. Louis NAACP stands with the Phanzu family to declare - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Join our campaign to stop this hateful treatment and protect the rights of people to spend their hard earned money without harassment and mistreatment. This holiday season we are alerting the public of this family's treatment by Saks Off Fifth, The St. Louis Premium Outlet and The Chesterfield Police Department as a National Travel Advisory until a measure of justice can be attained. Watch the video interview and determine for yourself what must be done.
