NORMANDY, Mo. (AP) — Michael Brown once told an uncle that the world would know his name one day, and he was right. Fifteen months after the black 18-year-old's killing by a white Ferguson police officer made him a key figure in the debate over the treatment of blacks by U.S. law enforcement, though, Brown lies buried in relative obscurity.
Brown is among the most notable residents of 160-year-old St. Peter's Cemetery, but there is no headstone marking his grave. Instead the burial plot — Section 10, Block F, Lot 12, Grave 4 — is visible only when gazing down at a concrete slab simply spray-painted in orange with "MB."(continued)

Who?
“Afterglow of smiles”. LOL
Those who made a big deal about Brown’s death didn’t care about him: not the protestors, not the rioters, not the race pimps, not Barry’s administration or the goons they dispatched, not those who lied about “hands up don’t shoot”, not the football players who sought approval by their stunts, not the TV personalities who hoped PC would give them ratings, not his lying partner in crime, not even his parents. They all cared about an issue or what they thought they could get out of it for themselves. Brown died alone in so many ways. Something tells me he wouldn’t be surprised.
So even in death, Brown, or his shrine, still can’t stay out of the middle of the road.
It was the rioting that gave Brown his notoriety.He was just another arrogant thug lying dead in the street then the rioting started.
No Michael Brown Liberry?
Yeah, can’t Sharpton come up with the two thousand bucks for a nice headstone?!
“O.D.”?
He O.D.’d on lead.
The graveyard version of public housing.

“Don’t wanta spend any of dat money on a hunk of stone. Gonna buy me a Cadillac.”
That pretty well sums things up. No money to be made.
There is probably an empty bottle of Mad Dog 20-20 there.
On the bright side, Michael Brown has gone for a year without committing a crime...
Nice!
Didn’t they raise money for a headstone? I thought there was a fundraising effort by his parents. Where did it go? Or was that Trayvon’s parents who raised money for a headstone?
