This series of virtual conversations on race and racism is jointly hosted by the University of Missouri-St. Louis and the City of Stuttgart, Germany.

In a truly just metropolis, where you grew up would not influence your life chances. Racial and economic segregation in the St. Louis metropolitan area means that many children grow up in neighborhoods that give them little chance of succeeding. The pattern of concentrated poverty and racial isolation in the city and inner-ring suburbs is not simply the result of individual choices; it is the result of a tangle of public policies and private practices. If we want to create a more just (and prosperous) metropolitan area, we need new policies and practices that address spatial and institutional inequalities.
