News summary

The anniversary of Michael Brown's death on August 9 marks ten years since the 18-year-old was killed by former officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri, a case that sparked nationwide protests and the Black Lives Matter movement. Despite significant changes in the Ferguson Police Department, including a more diverse workforce and federal oversight, advocates argue that systemic issues in policing remain unresolved. Brown's family continues to seek justice, recently presenting their case to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, asserting that U.S. legal structures have failed them. Campaign Zero reports legislative progress in reducing police violence, having passed use-of-force laws in 24 states, but acknowledges that much work remains. Recent incidents of police violence highlight ongoing concerns about accountability and reform. As the Brown family pushes for legislative changes such as the BREATHE Act, their struggle reflects the broader fight for justice in America.
