NEW ORLEANS – In light of the Ferguson, MO grand jury decision, Mayor Mitch Landrieu released the following statement:
"Today I pray for the Brown family and everyone in Ferguson. In the United States we remain divided. Divided by race. Divided by poverty. We live a block away from one another, but are often a world apart.
It is time for each of us, every American, to accept the fact that we must begin to acknowledge and discuss the most difficult issues we face. And we must agree to face them together.

American citizens have the right to protest, but I encourage peaceful protests in these difficult times."
