Michael Brown | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Solange Knowles had planned on releasing her new Puma collaboration on Friday (November 28), but in support of the Blackout Black Friday campaign, she has postponed the release.

“To echo my feelings shared surrounding the outcome of the Michael Brown case, I have solely decided to postpone the release of my Puma collaboration originally scheduled to release this Friday November 28th to Monday December 1st. I am truly grateful for everyone’s support and excited to share this collection with you soon,” she wrote in a message on Instagram.

The Blackout Black Friday campaign was started by the organization Blackout for Human Rights, which is “composed of a network of artists, activists, filmmakers and lawyers who fight to address inequalities and injustice in America.”

“In the wake of #Ferguson, it’s become painfully clear that people of color, and Black people in particular, are still unjustly targeted by law enforcement and the criminal justice system,” the organization said. “The lack of indictment in the deaths of Michael Brown of Ferguson, MO, John Crawford III of Ohio, and many, many more victims of police deaths are unacceptable in this modern society. To that end, we will cease spending money on American retail corporations until a change is made.”

Michael Brown‘s parents, Lesley McSpadden and Michael Brown Sr., appeared on the Today show this morning after Officer Darren Wilson made his case last night and defended his actions after shooting their son over the summer.

Michael Sr. called Darren Wilson’s account “crazy” and “disrespectful,” and added, “For one, my son, he respected law enforcement. Two, who in their right mind would rush or charge at a police officer that has his gun drawn?”

The family attorney, who joined his parents at the interview, said, “When you have people of color be killed, they try to demonize and play the stereotypes, and they try to put the police officer who killed our children on a pedestal. It’s just not right and we have to fix this system.”

Michael‘s parents have called for peaceful protest after the grand jury made the decision not to indict the officer in the shooting of their son on August 9.

The news on the Furguson grand jury’s decision has sparked much controversy from the country and shocked the entertainment industry.

In case you missed it, police officer Darren Wilson will not be charged for the death of Michael Brown.

As a result, many celebs – Katy Perry, Katherine Heigl, Pharrell Williams, Lena Dunham, Matthew Morrison, and Gabrielle Union, are all voicing their opinions on the decision.

President Obama has also addressed the country after news of the decision to not charge Darren.

President Obama makes a statement after the grand jury made a decision on whether to charge Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson for the death of Michael Brown.

“Either way it was going to be the subject of intense disagreement,” the 53-year-old president shared during his speech to the country. “We need to accept that this decision was the grand jury’s to make.” Watch the video below!

He added, “There are Americans who agree with it, and there are Americans who are deeply disappointed – even angry. It’s an understandable reaction.”

He continued, “We have made enormous progress in race relations over the course of the past several decades. I have witnessed that in my own life, and to deny that progress, I think is to deny America’s capacity for change. But what is also true is that there are still problems – and communities of color aren’t just making these problems up. Separating that from this particular decision, there are issues in which the law too often feels as if it is being applied in a discriminatory fashion.”

In case you missed the big news, Darren was not charged for killing Michael in August.

After Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson was not indicted in the death of the teenager he shot earlier this year, Michael Brown, riots broke out in the streets, and his family is now releasing a statement asking the public to join them in peaceful protests.

“We are profoundly disappointed that the killer of our child will not face the consequence of his actions. While we understand that many others share our pain, we ask that you channel your frustration in ways that will make a positive change. We need to work together to fix the system that allowed this to happen. Join with us in our campaign to ensure that every police officer working the streets in this country wears a body camera. We respectfully ask that you please keep your protests peaceful. Answering violence with violence is not the appropriate reaction. Let’s not just make noise, let’s make a difference,” the family said (via NBC News).

Our thoughts are with Michael‘s family during this difficult time.
