The loss hit Eric's children hard.
That's the thing about a loss like this. The effects are so far-reaching. It devastated a family, a community, and a country. Three years after Mike's murder, in 2017, Leslie and Mike's dad settled their wrongful death lawsuit against the city of Ferguson, Missouri. It argued that Officer Darren Wilson used excessive force and unjustifiably shot and killed Mike. They got some money from the city.
Plus, Leslie continued to receive offers for paid appearances and speaking engagements. But none of it really mattered to her. In her mind, it didn't have to happen this way. The pitiful acknowledgement that was too little too late, her family's sudden fame, these weren't things she ever asked for. She still hadn't received any justice for Mike Mike.
And all Leslie wanted was for life to go back to how it used to be, when he was alive.
It would take time for Leslie to get there. In the grand scheme of things, this was just the beginning of her journey through grief, a private loss that had become a public symbol of resistance. So what does life look like after your child's death changes the world?
Next week, we'll follow Leslie's path after the protests quieted down and the cameras disappeared and see how she's navigating the long road of healing while continuing to fight for justice.

And she's got a spine of steel. Yes. And she's also been a black woman in America a very long time. So none of this is new to her. We're mad because we're tired of it. We're mad for her. We're mad for her. And we're going to stand. Listen, I don't know how you hear, but I'm happy you're here. I'm happy.
She does not have time to hear all these reporters. And she is also not mayor of every municipality in California. We have fires every year. And I don't remember in the 30 years almost that I've lived in L.A., I've never seen somebody, everybody react like this to the mayor and blame one person for a natural disaster. Yes. I've never seen it. Now, what's different this time? Interesting, isn't it?
You said that.
It's been really important for the DWP to put an equity lens on everything. Yes.
