c. 2014 USA Today
(RNS) In cities large and small, people across America came together to silently remember Michael Brown, a teen none knew in life but whose death August 9 sparked a wave of unrest in his Missouri hometown and raised questions about racial profiling and police militarization.
Attendees wore red ribbons to honor Brown, 18, at Thursday (August 14) evening rallies from Maine to Michigan, Florida to New York, Vermont, Colorado, and California.
