It's been 10 years since 18 year old Michael Brown was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.

His death at the hands of police sparked massive protests and put the city in the national spotlight.

Our community's correspondent, Gabriel Hayes,

returned to Ferguson to see what's changed a decade later.

I was in my grandmother's room

and we saw it on the local news

and I saw the tragedy of just the police

brutality going on. I saw the protesters outside. I saw the riders and I remember asking

myself the question what could I do at such an early age to make sure that we can

rectify those injustices. Hello everybody my name is Precious Berry I lived in

Ferguson my whole life my name is Michael Hollis and I've lived in Ferguson over 20 years. Yeah, I just remember

it's kind of being angry kind of talking about it. We were young man. We had no mature thoughts

about it I think it just sucked.

What I did know this is the way that my family and the people around me and the adults in my life

started responding and reacting to me and the other little black boys in my family and like in my friends a lot of stuff like that.

They sheltered us a little bit more and they kept us a little bit more for fear of something

like what happened to him happening to us. My name is Darius Turner. I've lived in

Ferguson for about five to six years. My name is Jamie Dennis and I've worked in

the city of Ferguson since 2014. This was a pivotal moment in our country. It kind of

of opened up the lid on you know implicit bias, the racism that that has

affected our community. The murder of Michael Brown was the fire sort of for a lot of the

communities to begin to progress.
