On Wednesday morning (Aug. 9), Rev. Frederick Haynes III made a pilgrimage to the site in Ferguson, Missouri, where Michael Brown, an unarmed Black teenager, was shot and killed by a White police officer nine years earlier on Aug. 9, 2014. Haynes, the senior pastor of Friendship-West Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, talked about it a few hours later and a few miles away during the annual session of the Progressive National Baptist Convention.
