Ferguson organizer offers a blueprint for student-led activism in his new book

Jonathan Pulphus was a sophomore at St. Louis University in 2014 when Michael Brown, Jr. was fatally shot by a police officer. He says his participation in the Ferguson Uprising was central to his education. In his new book, “With My People,” Pulphus shares the lessons he learned as a young community organizer, reflects on what makes student activism distinctly powerful, and provides a blueprint for grassroots organizing.
