FERGUSON, Mo., Nov. 28 (UPI) -- Protesters remained active nationwide on Black Friday following the announcement last week of the grand jury's decision not to prosecute police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.

In Richmond Heights, Missouri 150 protestors chanted and marched peacefully during Black Friday shopping at the Saint Louis Galleria while police stood by.
