He was a son, a friend, and most importantly a human being…
It was a sad day for the Ferguson, Missouri community and
most importantly African-Americans and blacks all over the world, when it was
announced that 18 year old unarmed Michael Brown was gunned
down by a police officer.
The fatal shooting drew comparisons to the death of Trayvon
Martin and Oscar Grant, both young black men.
After so much protests and a national debate on where race
stands in America, Michael was laid to rest today Monday 25th August 2014 at
the Friendly Temple, Missionary Baptist Church in St. Louis, Missouri.
At the funeral service, mourners sang, clapped and danced,
remembering the teen. His body was in a black and gold casket, topped with the
St. Louis Cardinals baseball cap he was wearing when he was killed on the 9th
of August.
RIP! So sad.
