On Saturday, August 9, 2014, police officer Darren Wilson, in Ferguson, Missouri shot and killed 18 year old Michael Brown. The shooting of yet another unarmed black person frustrated many people and have some wondering what can be done to stop all forms of police brutality. In commemoration of the one year anniversary of the death of Michael Brown, we here at R3 decided to start a Reader; a collection of some of the editorials and opinion pieces that offer a reflection on Ferguson one Year Later. We are also looking for one year reflections as well. If you have one to share, please email us at rhetoricraceandreligion@gmail.com
