SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – Michael Brown Sr., the father of a black Missouri teen shot and killed by a Ferguson officer, was in Sacramento Thursday night.

Now an activist, Brown Sr. spoke to students and others on the Sacramento State campus all through the non-profit he started in his son's memory.

His lecture, titled "Chosen for Change - a Father's Perspective," is motivated to help others who have been affected by police brutality.

"We are not the enemy," Brown Sr. said.
