Uddrag
It all began when a young, unarmed man, Michael Brown, was killed on the street in Ferguson by a police officer in 2014.
A lot of people were shocked by this event and went on the streets to show their support of Michael’s family and the black community in general.

According to sociology professor and leading urban ethnographer Elijah Anderson these protests had been a long time coming (p. 1, ll. 2-3).
