I want to send a heartfelt shout out to the folks at Time magazine for giving the Ferguson protesters shine as second place for their coveted Person of the Year for 2014. It was clearly a close call, but playing second to the folks who contained the Ebola virus is nothing to scoff about, if you ask me. And I loved, loved, loved the feature that Time had about Ferguson on their website – which gave nods to some of the familiar faces in the movement like Johnetta Elzie, DeRay McKesson and Brittany Packnett. I want to show love to all of the people who had a hand in grabbing the world’s attention with their reaction to the tragic death of Michael Brown Jr. – especially those names we will never know who stood strong from the very beginning in streets of Canfield demanding justice.
