Summary

On August 9, 2014, 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot and killed by police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis. Just one year after the murder of Trayvon Martin set off fresh waves of racial unrest throughout the nation and in the church. Fanning the flame started after the acquittal of Trayvon's killer, #BlackLivesMatter became the banner under which the latest movement for Black freedom marched. Tyler and Jemar reflect on 10 years of racial revelations since Brown's death and asses what it all means for attempts at racial justice in the church.
