Clergy protest decision in Ferguson case
December 4, 2014
CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) — Clergy and others who blocked morning traffic in the St. Louis suburb where the Ferguson grand jury decision was announced ended their protest without any apparent arrests being made. About 100 demonstrators assembled in downtown Clayton, Missouri, shortly after sunrise Nov. 25 and spent several hours blocking intersections, singing spirituals and chanting, “This is what theology looks like.” They also observed a 4.5 minute moment of silence to mark the four and half hours that Brown’s body remained on the Ferguson street before it was removed.
Many protesters wore orange reflective vests identifying themselves as clergy.
