Ferguson Revisited: The Worst Night

Ferguson Revisited: The Worst Night

Its been five years since Michael Brown was shot and killed by officer Darren Wilson in the middle of Ferguson’s Canfield Drive. His death at the hands of a police officer sparked protests across the country and cemented the Black Lives Matter movement into the American consciousness.

Guest: Joel Anderson, Host of Slow Burn.
