Four months after Michael Brown was killed by police in Ferguson, Missouri, in the summer of 2014, as the country’s racial tensions reached a boiling point, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder visited the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta to talk about the divide between law enforcement and communities of color. As he spoke to a room overflowing with concerned citizens, he was interrupted by a group of young protesters chanting, “No justice, no peace.”

As the commotion dwindled, he warned against those who might view their action in a negative light.
