Thousands Attend Michael Brown’s Funeral
Thousands joined the family of Michael Brown at a St. Louis church Monday to remember the fallen teenager whose death at the hands of a Ferguson, Mo., police officer sparked days of bitter protests that have reverberated across America. Mourners filled the 2,500-seat sanctuary of the Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist Church in St. Louis and overflowed into two separate viewing rooms on Monday morning. “Michael Brown does not want to be remembered for a riot,” the Rev. Al Sharpton implored attendees during a eulogy. “He wants to be remembered for being the one that made America deal with how we police in the United States.”
