FERGUSON, Mo. – This week will mark the tenth anniversary since Michael Brown Jr. was shot and killed by a Ferguson police officer. Brown is being honored with a public exhibit at the Urban League’s Ferguson Community Empowerment Center to humanize the teenager.

The exhibit opened Monday and runs through Sunday, August 11.

“I don’t want the people to forget. Seems sad that this city has tried to erase what happened and, for me, things need to be in place so people can always remember that this did happen in Ferguson,” Michael Brown Sr., co-founder of the Chose for Change Foundation, said.

Cal Brown, co-founder of the Chose for Change Foundation, said in the aftermath of Michael Jr’s death, he was dehumanized.

“So many people forgot that he was a human being and that he had a family who absolutely adored him, and I just wanted to create a space for not only community but for people to really see who he was,” she said.

Chosen for Change hosts community events during the Michael Brown memorial weekend every year.

The “As I See You” exhibit includes photos, videos, books, portraits, a memorial, and a life-sized replica of Brown, including the young man’s graduation diploma, an Arnold Palmer drink can, a bag of Skittles, and a Cardinals cap. They are just some of the personal effects his family wants the world to see.

Vincent Stemmler helped create the replica.

“I keep saying that it was an honor to work for them but it’s also important to remember that this is a time for mourning for the family and a lot of members of the community here in Ferguson, so it’s also about honoring his life,” Stemmler said.

Brown was shot and killed by then-Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson on Aug. 9, 2014. His death sparked a national movement demanding police accountability.

A new memorial grows on Canfield Drive, where the shooting happened 10 years ago, with people placing stuffed animals, flowers, and wooden fists as markers to honor others shot and killed by police over the years.
