Erika Totten, L, of Alexandria, VA, holds a sign listing some of the names of people killed by police in the United States as hundreds of people gather at Meridian Hill (Malcolm X) Park for a peaceful vigil and moment of silence in honor of innocent lives lost and those who have been affected by police brutality on Thursday, August 14, 2014, in Washington, DC. This National Moment of Silence was sparked by, among other instances, the killing of unarmed teenager Michael Brown by a police officer in Ferguson, MO. Hundreds of groups around the nation held similar, simultaneous rallies at 7pm Eastern time to show solidarity. (Photo by Jahi Chikwendiu/The Washington Post)
