Mike Brown Sr Interview Feb 18 2016
Michael Brown, Sr. invited a dozen men who have lost children to “A Father’s Perspective Retreat” in St. Louis. The weekend event is part of the Michael Brown Chosen for Change Foundation. Brown’s unarmed, teenage son was gunned down in August 2014 by a Ferguson police officer, and the shooting ignited simmering frustrations and birthed a movement demanding better police treatment of African Americans.
Brown says in the months after his son, Michael, was killed he found support programs for mothers, but there were not many resources to assist fathers. His program “Chosen Fathers” is an effort to help fill that void. In an interview with TheVillage’s Vickie Newton, Brown talked about his foundation and police brutality in America.
