May 3 marked the funeral gathering of the family of Andrew Brown Jr. at the Fountain of Life church in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. People gathered around their timelines and watched the news to get up-to-the-minute updates about the wake. But while mourners remembered the 42-year-old father and grandfather as “a very good man,” the demands for justice seem to echo a familiar cry that comes after police violence against Black people.
