Racial tinderbox examined

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is publishing a series, “The Story of Ferguson.”

It centers around the killing of an 18-year-old black teen by a white police officer that ignited years of frustration, distrust and anger.

Protests continued for weeks and moved into Clayton, the Shaw neighborhood, St. Louis University, downtown.

A night of arson and looting followed the announcement that a grand jury would not indict the police officer. Protests spread across the nation.
