Ferguson Residents Build Memorial for Mike Brown on 3rd Anniversary of His Killing by Police
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Ferguson, Missouri, dozens of people gathered Tuesday night to build
a memorial on the spot where unarmed African-American teenager Michael
Brown was killed by white police officer Darren Wilson three years ago
today, sparking an uprising in Ferguson and nationwide protests against
police brutality. The memorial of teddy bears, candles and handwritten
notes sits on the exact spot where Michael Brown's body lay in the
street for more than four hours after the fatal shooting.
