Sekou participated in the daily protest and has co-led trainings for over 800 people in nonviolent civil disobedience.
He is co-author with Cornel West of the recent book, And the Young Ones Shall Lead Them: The Ferguson Rebellion and the Crisis in Black Leadership and is also the author of the forthcoming book, Riot Music: British Hip Hop, Race, and the Politics of Meaning. His writing and reflections on Ferguson include: A Letter from Ferguson and The Gospel is not a Neutral Term.
