More than 50 years after Martin Luther King’s death, some American cities are still divided along racial lines. St. Louis is one of them. Its African-American population is mostly confined to neighbourhoods with high violent crime rates and low wages. «Most of the people out here are not bad people – they are in a bad situation,» say Reverend Kenneth McKoy and Father Jay Kanzler, who hold weekly 'peace walks' to call for an end to violence in troubled neighbourhoods. Among other St. Louis activists, they are fighting battles against inequality, poverty, bias, lack of prospects, police abuse, and extrajudicial killings.
