It's been one year since the encounter with a white police officer that resulted in the death of black teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri on Aug. 9, 2014.
The killing rocked the country with questions about civil rights, police force diversity and the power of law enforcement. In November, a grand jury announced that officer Darren Wilson would not be indicted for fatally shooting the unarmed teenager.
