USA: Ferguson Protests One Year after Police Murder of Mike Brown

  • 9 years ago
Hundreds of people marched in Ferguson, Missouri, on Friday and Saturday to mark one year since the murder of unarmed Michael Brown at the hands of white police officer Darren Wilson. Activists called for a moment of silence on Sunday, August 9 at 12:02 pm, the time Mike was shot dead, and a national day of resistance on August 10. Months of protests in Ferguson last year sparked nationwide protests against police violence and the formation of the Black Lives Matter movement, which is organizing marches in a number of cities on Monday in honor of Mike Brown. teleSUR
