Four years ago, after a police officer shot and killed Michael Brown, protestors took to the streets of Ferguson, Missouri.

DeRay Mckesson, now a face of what became the Black Lives Matter movement, spoke in Washington this week at The Atlantic Festival. Mckesson recently authored a memoir: On the Other Side of Freedom: The Case for Hope.
