Marking the six-month anniversary of the police murder of Michael Brown, activists held a protest Feb. 9 in New York City that included a press conference, rally/sing-in and reading of names of victims of police brutality, culminating with a direct action at Grand Central Station, (above). The murder of Brown and the non-indictment of his killer, Darren Wilson, helped to ignite the national Black Lives Matter movement. The protest was called by the People’s Power Assembly and Occu-Evolve.
