As the 10 year anniversary of Mike Brown’s death at the hands of Ferguson police approaches, his family is still seeking justice. On July 10th, Brown’s mother testified at an IACHR hearing to petition the commision to recommend that United States prosecutors criminally litigate Brown’s killing.  

As ABC reports, Kerry Kennedy said at the hearing, “We will undoubtedly hear from the state a litany of all the things they have done to address the scourge of racist police violence in this country over the last 10 years, some of which I commend them for doing. Is it enough when more people were killed by police in 2023 than any other previously recorded year? The answer is no.”
