FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — A new Ferguson community group is pledging to work across racial and economic lines to help the community move forward following Michael Brown’s police shooting death.
KWMU-FM reports that the group One Ferguson debuted Tuesday night during the public comment portion of the Ferguson City Council meeting. Its members include some of the same young protesters who’ve been among the city’s biggest critics.
Loud protests have disrupted council meetings since Brown was killed by Ferguson officer Darren Wilson. But the tone Tuesday shifted with the emergence of One Ferguson, even as some speakers still called for Wilson’s arrest.
