On August 9th, 2020, exactly six years after 18-year-old Michael Brown was fatally shot by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, a day of remembering and healing will take place throughout the world. The murder of George Floyd on May 25th of this year shocked the world. It brought a new focus to the longstanding patterns of senseless acts of violence in the U.S., and inspired the urgency to change the culture that has permitted it. A variety of community programs and organizations have been founded to draw attention to the problem. To connect these community programs, Black SON Day was created by Dr. Marty K. Casey, founder of UnGUN Institute, to globalize these initiatives.
