MICHAEL BROWN’S FUNERAL IS TODAY “On the eve of Michael Brown's funeral Monday, the teen's parents saw their son for the first time since his death and tried to prepare for a burial that will test their strength. At noon Sunday, about 100 family members and friends gathered for a private viewing of Brown's body at Austin A. Layne Mortuary. They gazed at Brown, who lay with his arms crossed in a gold and black casket. He wore a blue-and-white-checked shirt, a navy blue sweater vest and a neatly tied red-and-blue-striped bow tie. He showed no sign of the gunshots that ended his life Aug. 9.” Michael Brown’s father asked for a “day of silence” to mark his son’s funeral. And here’s how you can make sure “Ferguson remains a part of the national conversation.”
