Now that an official government agency has investigated, researched, and studied the situation; written a report; and most important, made that report public for all to see, we can no longer respond to institutional racism with a shrug. The “struggle” was dramatized 50 years ago by a March across a bridge in Selma, Alabama. That struggle has not simply faded from memory with the passage of time, and that is what is remarkable. Fifty years ago, the Department of Justice report on the Ferguson police department would have figuratively and literally been swept under the rug and never seen the light of day. Think about that!
