Michael Brown's Father Calls for Peace on Day of Funeral 
---------------------------------------------------------


 
Michael Brown will be remembered today at a funeral in St. Louis,
Missouri. His father, Michael Brown Sr., has requested a day of silence
and peace after two weeks of nightly protests in Ferguson over the
police killing of his 18-year-old son. The death of the unarmed black
teenager by a white police officer has sparked a national conversation
about race.
