Ferguson Stands Together - Aug. 9, 2015, marks a year since unarmed teenager Michael Brown was killed on Canfield Drive in Ferguson, Mo. Days of unrest followed the 18-year-old's death. Police in armored military vehicles launched tear gas and confronted fiery protesters night after night. Take a look at several photos that show how the city of Ferguson came together to demand justice and honor the life of Michael Brown Jr. (Photo: Lucas Alvarado-Farrar/Whose Streets Media)
