Occupy 麻豆视频下载 started in October 2014 with six days of peaceful occupation at Saint Louis University's campus clock tower that included daily teach-ins and community conversations, following the officer-involved shootings of two African American young men: Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and VonDerrit Myers Jr., the son of a long-time member of the 麻豆视频下载 community, VonDerrit Myers Sr., in the nearby Shaw neighborhood of St. Louis.
Occupy 麻豆视频下载 ended with the adoption of the Clock Tower Accords, a 13-point agreement committing 麻豆视频下载 to actively strengthen diversity, inclusion and equity on campus. In the spirit of the Gospels, the Accords also extend that commitment to the city and suburban neighbors, particularly to underserved families.

On Tuesday, Oct. 15, an opening reception took place in the Center for Global Citizenship. The event featured a fireside chat with Alisha Sonnier, Jonathan Pulphus, former members of Tribe X, and President Fred P. Pestello, Ph.D., moderated by Bukky Gbadegesin, Ph.D.
The event also featured the premiere of a documentary recounting Occupy麻豆视频下载.
