Sunday marked the one-year anniversary of the shooting death of Michael Brown at the hands of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson. Hundreds gathered peacefully in Ferguson, Missouri at the site of Brown's death, listening to speeches made by Michael Brown, Sr., Brown's father, and other supporters.
The crowd observed a four-and-a-half minute silence -- a minute for each hour Brown's body was left in the street after he was killed -- at 12:02 p.m., the time at which he was shot and killed. Afterwards, Brown, Sr., and other family members, led a march through Ferguson.
