Daizha Lankford 3rd Period: Missouri Governor Appoints African-American Cabinet Member.

This article written by Melissa Clyne, who has been covering many stories involving #FergusonInCrisis, wrote this compelling piece about the strategic addition to the Missouri Cabinet made by the Governor.

In the wake of what is being called "The New Civil Rights Movement", a Missouri Governor as appointed Black Police chief officer as a part of his cabinet. His role... Director of department of public safety. In the aftermath of not one, but two shootings in Missouri, both involving an African American male and a Caucasian Police officer, many people think this is simply a strategy to get the Black community on board. Although, the former police chief is highly trained and more than qualified, people will believe this is a political strategy to calm down the "tyrants" called African Americans. With the Aftermath of the Michael Brown shooting we are at a war with the government. We really do not know or understand what is going on. It is like in the 1960's when Black people all over the country were discriminated against, hate crimes happening almost every night. This is could be a fatal reminder that things haven't changed at all.
