“Our mantra is that we are praying with our feet until there is no more blood in the streets,” said Gunning Francis, a professor at Eden Theological Seminary in Webster Groves.

Brown, 18, was shot Aug. 9 by Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson. A St. Louis County grand jury is considering whether to indict Wilson in the killing of Brown.

Earlier Saturday at Greater St. Mark Family Church near Ferguson, Brown family attorney Anthony Gray led about 60 people through a session aimed at finding ideas or suggestions for change.

“That’s what this whole session is all about,” Gray said during the second of four days of symposiums, workshops and rallies related to the Brown shooting. “Throwing out some ideas. Throwing out some suggestions. Where do we go from here, St. Louis? What do we do? We’ve got the world looking at our little small city. We’re nothing but a little speck on a map.”

Some in attendance expressed frustration that while people need to vote for change, there often are not enough viable candidates who will stand up for minority communities.
