Marching in Ferguson, August 14, 2014

On August 14, hundreds of people gathered in Ferguson to peacefully uphold the rights of citizens to protest on the streets of Ferguson after police had unleashed teargas and pointed sniper rifles at those who were engaged in peaceful protest. I was proud to be among these people.

Some of our sisters at the meeting point had brought signs.


Episcopal Bishop Smith marched on the outside as clergy were asked to do in order to support the other protesters.

Some of the great people who marched behind me kept up a great variety of chants.

There I am at Canfield Green.

There were some amazing speeches and signs carried to Canfield.

Raise up your children in the way they should go....
