World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

The killing of Michael Brown has caused a huge debate across social media about the way young black men are viewed in the US - by the police, by the media, by white Americans, and by their peers. The hashtag #iftheygunnedmedown in particular has highlighted this. We hear from black American teens discussing their lives.
