People across the U.S. rallied together Thursday for a national moment of silence for Michael Brown, the unarmed teen who was shot by police on Saturday in Ferguson, Mo.
I think we should have a national vigil for #MikeBrown and all recent victims of police brutality. Same day. Same time. Every city we can
According to The Root, the event, known as #NMOS14, was initiated by @FeministaJones, who described it as a way to come together "to remember the forgotten, ignored, killed, and abused."
Photos from across the country showed people protesting in solidarity with the slain Ferguson teen.
It is important to remember that the #NMOS14 vigils are to remember the forgotten, ignored, killed, and abused #NMOS14
