BET: Six Years After Michael Brown’s Death, Ferguson Remains Forever Changed
On August 9, 2014, the world changed forever as a young, unarmed 18-year old, Black boy who was murdered by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.
Today the ACLU wrote, “Michael Brown was just 18 years old when Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson shot and killed him. Six years later, the anniversary of his death is a painful reminder of how little has changed. We are still in the streets shouting his name, demanding justice.”
Six years ago Michael Brown was killed at the hands of police, sparking a nationwide movement and a desperately needed conversation that we are still having to this day. We cannot give up fighting against police brutality.
