Michael Brown Sr. hasn't shaved his beard since his son died.
"Everything I can't say is here," he told CNN, touching his beard. He said he'd shave it once he sees signs of justice, which he isn't particularly optimistic about. His son's shooting sparked nationwide Black Lives Matter protests that continue today, as other unarmed black men are killed by police officers.
Darren Wilson, a white police officer, fatally shot Brown, an unarmed black teenager, on Aug. 9, 2014. Wilson, who stepped down from the police department in November, was cleared of wrongdoing by the U.S. Justice Department and a grand jury.
