I just spoke to a distraught US Special Forces soldier who is among the 1000 or so US troops in Syria tonight who is serving alongside the SDF Kurdish forces. It was one of the hardest phone calls I have ever taken.

Michael Brown was killed by a police officer in Ferguson five years ago today. His friend Dorian Johnson witnessed the shooting, and maintains that had Michael had his hands up. @WesleyLowery tracked Johnson down, which you will discover was no small feat. https://t.co/SB2myT171G
Ferguson’s 5th Anniversary provided a moment to not only look back, but to also look forward by considering strategic ways to create lasting change. Proud to cover & co-convene a series of critical conversations meant to spark change. #BolderBlackerBadder#BADNETWORK#MikeBrown
