The face of Darfur Print E-mail
By Donna Korando, Platform Staff   
A play, a photo exhibit at City Hall and a Pulitzer Prize winning columnist bring the story of the genocide in Sudan to St. Louis. The crisis in Darfur has become a cause embraced by students and documented by journalists such as Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times. As more people learn about the situation, backers of these events hope that pressure will grow to bring about change.

Is Earth Day still needed? Print E-mail
By By Julia Evangelou Strait, Special to the St. Louis Platform   
earth.jpgEarth Day celebrations are more feel-good events than incubators of change. As such, they are ways to educate and involve people. Around the day itself, April 22, people can find forums to discuss scientific developments and how government, business and people should respond.

Channel 9 documentary explores terror and hate Print E-mail
By Mary Delach Leonard, Platform staff   

Gas station owner Balbir Singh Sodhi was living the American Dream in Mesa, Ariz., when he was shot to death on Sept. 15, 2001 – the nation's first victim of a hate crime following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. 

"After 9/11 everyone was scared. First, it was terrorists against Americans. Then it was Americans against Americans,'' says Sodhi's brother, Rana, in the documentary "A Dream in Doubt" by Tami Yeager that will be broadcast in May on KETC, Channel 9.
