Journal Article
From Plessy to Ferguson
2015
Overview
The killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014 and the responses to it evidence a long-standing pattern in U.S. law, history and culture of not only condoning injustice but disavowing its very existence. The many miscarriages of justice in this case reveal that the nation has never really moved beyond the forms of racial domination articulated in the Dred Scott and Plessy Supreme Court cases decided during the regimes of slavery and Jim Crow segregation. When considered in the context of how the racialization of space and the spatialization of race create cumulative vulnerabilities for aggrieved individuals and groups, what transpired during and after the killing of Michael Brown is only one more instance of slavery unwilling to die.
