New wave of protest leaders emerged after Ferguson

Cori Bush, a nurse/pastor, and one of the unofficial leaders of the so-called Frontline protest movement along with state Rep. Bruce Franks Jr., poses for a photo in St. Louis on Thursday, Oct. 5, 2017. Protests have been plentiful in St. Louis since the mid-September acquittal of Jason Stockley, a white former officer who fatally shot a black drug suspect, Anthony Lamar Smith, in 2011 while still on the city’s police force. Young people have been thrust into activism driven by the belief that change won’t happen until the entire region is confronted with the uncomfortable reality of racism. (AP Photo by Jim Salter)
