ArchiveJohn Legend's Tweets About the Controversy in Ferguson, MO Go Viral
Every day this week has brought news about Ferguson, Missouri—the town that has been rocked by the death of an allegedly unarmed black teen at the hands of a police officer. Residents are protesting, police are issuing tear gas to calm the crowds, and now politicians and even celebrities are voicing their opinions about the deeply divisive matter.
