St. Louis Public Radio hosted a public forum on Ferguson on Thursday night. It was not broadcast until Friday, so my role was to live-tweet the forum as it happened.
Listen to the “Ferguson and Beyond” forum, hosted by NPR’s Michel Martin.
The #BeyondFerguson community discussion starts at 6 p.m. CT. It will be broadcast at noon Friday.

— STL Public Radio (@stlpublicradio) August 28, 2014
Into the '90s, there was a focus on community policing, says @DrDanIsom. #BeyondFerguson
