Ferguson Rises
#FergusonRisesPBS explores grief and resilience in the aftermath of the killing of Black teenager Michael Brown Jr. by a white police officer. Join filmmakers, changemakers, and viewers like you to discuss how each of us can mend the wounds of racialized violence in our communities.
7 - 8 p.m.
In 2014, Michael Brown Jr. was killed by a white police officer, fueling the global #BLM movement. #FergusonRisesPBS follows his father’s journey seeking justice and healing.
Join Michael Brown, Sr., film director Mobolaji Olambiwonnu, and a constellation of change makers to discuss how communities can follow Mr. Brown's footsteps along a path toward purpose—and help mend the wounds of racialized violence along the way.
Trained facilitators will share tools for communicating across differences as we explore our common humanity and shift entrenched narratives that stoke cycles of trauma. Throughout the town hall, we’ll view scenes selected from Ferguson Rises that spark conversation.
