joining me now is leslie mcspadden who is planning a bid for ferguson, missouri's city council. morning, leslie. >> good morning, reverend al. >> i remember four years ago when your father called me and i came into ferguson and got to know you and the family. and from day one, you always committed to making what happened to michael brown about more than just you and the family. you said to me from the moment we met and we've remained very close since then that you want to make sure that there's a bigger message and a bigger purpose than michael's life served. and then when you told me you were thinking about running for the city council, and you decided to announce it that day, is this where you were headed, and is this the purpose of your run, that you want to deal with a bigger vision than just your own personal pain, but really dealing with the pain of citizens? >> exactly. we do not want to see another ferguson, another tragedy, another young kid dead in the streets and a mother mourning the loss of her son way too early. we do not want to have that again. >> the three thing
