The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra was getting ready to resume its show on Saturday night at Powell Hall in St. Louis, Missouri, when attendees were treated to a surprise performance. A small group of peaceful protesters got up from their seats after intermission, and started singing the civil rights song " Which Side Are You On ?" to mourn the death of Michael Brown. Some of the song's lyrics were changed to include a reference to Brown. The 18-year-old was shot and killed by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in August, sparking weeks of mass protests throughout the city. http://on.mash.to/1Eho0mk http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
