From ZMag: An interview with Zaki Baruti
Zaki Baruti interviewed by
Don Fitz
October 25, 2007
The contemptuous demotion of a fire chief ignited unified opposition in St. Louis' Black community. Previously fragmented groups have pulled together whether their focus has been on police violence, employment opportunities, school closings, eminent domain or childhood lead poisoning.
Hundreds of black and dozens of white St. Louisans gathered on the steps of City hall on Sunday October 21 to show their support for former Fire Chief Sherman George and begin steps to recall the mayor responsible for demoting him - Francis Slay. Zaki Baruti is a veteran organizer against police violence. He was one of the rally's organizers.
Don Fitz: When fire chief Sherman George refused to make promotions within the Fire Department, Mayor Slay demoted him in early October. Why was there such an outcry in the Black community?
