FERGUSON, MO (KPLR)-After a week of relative quiet, the streets of Ferguson are full of demonstrators again Saturday for the “National March on Ferguson”, demanding justice in the shooting death of Michael Brown. West Florissant Avenue has been shut down for the duration of the protest and rally.

Organizers had been vague about what kind of numbers they expected; only using the word massive to describe the march. According to a full page ad in the St. Louis American newspaper, the march is a protest against “police killings, brutality, profiling, and legal coverups.”

The “Justice For Michael Brown Leadership Coalition” organized the event.

The march began at 10:00am at West Florissant and Canfield, near the burned out QuikTrip.


Crowds marched to the Canfield Green apartments, where Brown was killed, for a prayer rally.
