The Faces of #FergusonOctober

The plea for justice remains loud and clear two months after Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown. To draw attention to issues involving race and police brutality, citizens organized a multi-event movement called #FergusonOctober October 10-13, 2014. Riverfront Times photographer Theo Welling went to the October 11 march and rally in downtown St. Louis and brought back these portraits and scenes.
