This past weekend hundreds of family members, friends and supporters came out to show their final respects to slain teen Michael Brown. The world has been watching s tension in Ferguson, MO has been going on since the death f Michael Brown.
In addition to civil rights activist coming out to show there support many celebrities were also in attendance. We spotted T.D. Jakes, Spike Lee, Tom Joyner, Slain Florida Teen Trayvon Martin’s family, Al Sharpton, Rev. Jesse Jackson and Memphis rapper Yo Gotti.
As media outlets and on lookers gathered outside the church to see who was going to show up. Yo Gotti made his way peaceful into the church wearing all black. Gotti’s cousin/right hand man B. Mimms was also along side Gotti.
The crew wore all black as they made their way peacefully. No flashy outfits, no flashy jewelry; just a heavy heart as all grieve a life that ended way to soon.
The tensions that have gripped this city since the unarmed Brown was shot to death by police officer Darren Wilson seem to have eased, for today at least. The line of mourners began forming at 7 a.m., three hours before the start of the service; the gargantuan and incredibly modern church is prepared to accommodate up to 5,000 people in its many buildings (some in what they’re calling “overflow” rooms), with live-streams and air conditioning for all.
The Times reports, “At least three White House officials plan to be there, including Broderick Johnson, assistant to the president, White House cabinet secretary and chairman of the My Brother’s Keeper task force; Heather Foster, an adviser for the White House Office of Public Engagement; and Marlon Marshall, a deputy director of the White House Office of Public Engagement who attended high school with Mr. Brown’s mother.” Family members of Trayvon Martin, Emmett Till, Sean Bell, and Oscar Brown are present.
Respect to Yo Gotti for representing Memphis out in Ferguson.
