"That's all I ask."The AP reports that the Rev. Al Sharpton also urged calm."We don't want anything tomorrow to happen that might defile the name of Michael Brown," Sharpton said. "This is not about our rage tomorrow. It's about the legacy and memory of his son."Reporting from Feguson, NPR's Martin Kaste reported that things in the St. Louis suburb have calmed down quite a bit. The crowds have dwindled and the rage that burned just a few days ago had turned.Still, some protesters vowed to continue to march until the government hears their voices.We'll update this post as the day progresses, so make sure to refresh the page for the latest.
