Remembering Michael Brown and Ferguson with Rev. Broderick Greer. Ep. 25

Three years ago this week, on Aug. 9, 2014, police officer Darren
Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown, an African-American teen in
Ferguson, Mo. Within 24 hours of the shooting the Ferguson uprising
began. On this episode, we talk with the Rev. Broderick Greer, an
Episcopalian priest in Memphis, Tenn., who boarded a bus and headed
to Ferguson following Mr. Brown’s death. He wrote about this
experience in an article for America, “How Ferguson helped me
understand my baptismal identity.” We ask Rev. Greer about his
experience in Ferguson, black Christianity and why he doesn’t call
himself an activist. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
