Hundreds of people filled the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, again Thursday night but in a calmer atmosphere as demonstrators gathered in scores of cities around the country to protest the fatal police shooting of an unarmed black teenager.

 

Rallies were held in at least 90 cities as part of a social media-organized National Moment of Silence to protest the death Saturday of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was shot by a white police officer.
