Michael Brown's Family Sues City of Ferguson 
---------------------------------------------


 
The family of Michael Brown, the 18-year-old African American whose
fatal shooting by police officer Darren Wilson ignited the Black Lives
Matter movement, are suing the city of Ferguson, Missouri. The family
will announce their civil lawsuit today, accusing Ferguson of liability
for Brown's "wrongful death." Darren Wilson avoided both criminal and
civil rights charges.
