DURHAM -- Law students at North Carolina Central University held a rally to protest the shooting death of Michael Brown, an unarmed 18 year old, by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. Reverend William Barber, President of the state NAACP, attended the rally and said it is important to view this situation in the larger scope of society.

Barber said, "It's about Michael Brown. But, it's also about all the stuff that happened before Michael Brown. And it's about unarmed-black men being killed by police, that's the narrative. Secondly, we've got to call together broad allies, this can't just be black people speaking to this. It's got to be black, white, Latino, Republicans, and Democrats saying, it's just wrong."

Barber announced he will travel to Ferguson after receiving an invitation from community leaders in the St. Louis suburb.
