Saturday's rally was held at West Florissant Avenue where it meets Canfield Drive, the street on which the unarmed black 18-year-old was shot and killed Aug. 9 by white Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson.
People wore shirts and carried signs with slogans such as "hands up, don't shoot," and "we want justice."
St. Louis attorney Jerryl Christmas said the rally was meant to keep Brown's death "in the forefront of America."
There was a muted police presence. Missouri Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson, who's been in charge of security for more than two weeks, was posing for selfies with rally attendees. Meanwhile, signs of healing are beginning to dot the city, even the area of town that was the center of attention.
Some merchants say business hasn't come close to recovering from the aftermath of the fatal shooting and the demonstrations that followed, but progress is being made. Businesses victimized by looting are replacing boarded up windows, with signs out front reading, "Open For Business." And people who have been too scared to take their kids out of the home are milling about once again.
Johnson helped bring calm back to the St. Louis-area community and says that the city is resilient.
