these things. now the mother and father in particular had three days' worth of activities that is important for everyone to know went off without a hitch. uneventful, very classy. it was what it was set out to do. everything that you are reporting on happened after those anniversary activities took place. so it's unrelated to what was initially planned by the family to commemorate their son's death. >> that's the tragedy upon tragedy is that it happens on this anniversary when otherwise it was so peaceful. since michael brown's death, ferguson -- they have made some changes. the most obvious are a new police chief and for the first time african-american scity council members. does the family think these changes have made a difference? >> i'm not going to say that they feel it makes a difference. it hasn't made a difference yet. but it has been change.
