NAACP Thanks MSNBC for Televising Portions of Michael Brown’s Funeral

‘For networks like yours to show it live, so that people across the country can see what’s taking place in St. Louis, I believe that helps our cause’

GASKIN: “Well, you have a lot of people that have unrest, a lot of people that want to kind of grieve with the family and hear about what’s going on. And for networks like yours, to show it live, so that people across the country can see what’s taking place in St. Louis, I believe that helps our cause. The message that’s being conveyed inside of the church --  let me tell you, it is packed to capacity. And being able to hear from the family, to be able to hear what Mike Brown was all about, who he really was. It's really powerful to hear that he said just weeks ago, 'One day the world will know my name.'”
