Thousands Attend Michael Brown’s Funeral in St. Louis

HeadlineAug 26, 2014

Thousands of people attended a funeral in St. Louis Monday to remember Michael Brown. Rev. Al Sharpton was among the speakers.

Reverend Al Sharpton: “This is about justice. This is about fairness. And America is going to have to come to terms with, there’s something wrong that we have money to give military equipment to police forces, but we don’t have money for training and money for public education and money to train our children.”

We’ll have more from the funeral after headlines.
