...one of the most promising developments from the tragedy last summer and the protests. You can usually find many examples there of excellent citizen journalism after major events in Ferguson, but Deray has a knack for observation and heart combined. All I've done is reverse the order of tweets, edit a few out, and link some in a 'storify' type of post. The author is certainly kind and generous in sharing all of this with us and others. Credit goes to Mr. McKesson, but I'm certain he'd welcome your inspired efforts, blm.
