Fusion - August 27, 2014, by Alicia Menendez - Earlier this week, the family of Michael Brown held a funeral for their son. The funeral was attended by the families of Emmet Till, Trayvon Martin, Sean Bell, Oscar Grant and Jordan Davis. Their stories are all similar, so why does this keep happening?

Fusion's Alicia Menendez spoke with CPD's Policy Advocate Josie Duffy about the way the media portrays black men. As peace returns to Ferguson, the question is: How does the community begin to heal?
