Michael Brown memorial exhibit marks 10th anniversary of his death [Video]

FERGUSON, Mo. – This week will mark the tenth anniversary since Michael Brown Jr. was shot and killed by a Ferguson police officer. Brown is being honored with a public exhibit at the Urban League’s Ferguson Community Empowerment Center to humanize the teenager.

The exhibit opened Monday and runs through Sunday, August 11.

“I don’t want the people to forget. Seems sad that this city has tried to erase what happened and, for me, things need to be in place so people can always remember that this did happen in Ferguson,” Michael Brown Sr., co-founder of the Chose for Change Foundation, said.

Cal Brown, co-founder of the Chose for Change Foundation, said in the aftermath of Michael Jr’s death, he was dehumanized.
