“What they did to us was steal our adolescence, our peer relationships. Some of us lost our families ... It’s unfair, it’s unholy, it’s criminal," said Anne Gleeson, who said she was abused by a nun from 8th grade until she was almost 20 years old.
Survivors of sexual abuse by employees of the Archdiocese of St. Louis are filing a lawsuit against the organization.

On the spot where his body laid for four and a half hours, loved ones placed candles, flowers and stuffed animals to honor Michael Brown's legacy. His dad, Michael Brown Sr., said he hopes people never forget what happened to his son and will continue fighting for justice.
“To keep coming out to doing the ritual of honoring him, memorializing him, commemorating him, really pushed against that impulse of erasure and is a testament to the fact that his life matters."
