The St. Louis City Branch of the NAACP Issues Missouri Travel Advisory In Support of the Phanzu Family
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.

St. Louis City NAACP Hosts NAACP Civil Rights Mini Conference In Partnership With St. Louis International Airport
NAACP Civil Rights Mini-Conference
“Addressing The Growing Disconnects Between The Realities, Community Expectations And Expected Economic Benefits” A Potential Public-Private Partnership (P3) St. Louis Lambert International Airport Bottom line, the City needs money to fund its decaying, asset-choking, and revenue-depleting infrastructure. Private and semi-private funding, along with creative, innovative, and time and money saving project delivery methods are needed. We must embrace the new norm; risk sharing and revenue sharing. Federal and state governments embrace P3 contracting approaches, such as Design-Build-Operate-Maintain (DBOM), Design-Build Finance (DBF), and Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Maintain (DBFOM). |
LEADING STORY
Amendment #2 is about putting health decisions back in the hands of patients and their doctors, allowing medical marijuana use under the supervision and expertise of doctors, not government bureaucrats.
Marijuana and racism have long been intertwined, dating back to the post-Prohibition era in the 1930s when the country’s first drug czar gained fraction for his war on marijuana by invoking a fear of black people. In the 1970s, President Richard Nixon’s war on drugs targeted black people, as well as hippies. History is replete with how officials used cannabis prohibition to target and criminalize black and brown people and throw them in jail. |
