Abstract
- The 2015 Ferguson, Missouri, protests were a series of public protests held in March and August of 2015 in objection to police treatment of African Americans in the St. Louis suburb and called for reforms of the predominantly white Ferguson Police Department. The August protests were held to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the controversial police shooting of African American teenager Michael Brown in 2014.
