Darren Seals and Saint Louis

Darren Seals was found weeks ago, shot dead and left to burn in a flaming car. The national news mentioned him as a Black Lives Matter activist, but that erases his most potent contributions to the movement: he passionately delineated the difference between the national movement ("ACTORvists") and its local elements. "St. Louis was what Darren Seals emphasized, over and over, until the day he died—no matter how badly some wanted him to stop."
