It has been a year since Michael Brown was gunned down in the middle of a Ferguson street by a white police officer, setting of months of protest, activism and ultimately – some change. But Brown’s death was also followed by a rapid string of other tragic events and shootings of unarmed blacks and mysterious deaths in the custody of police.

So on the anniversary of the shooting, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution takes a look at all that has happened in the past year and examines the trauma behind it. Join reporters Ernie Suggs and Kendall Trammell for a live chat on the subject today at noon on myajc.com.
