Black men and the coverage on Ferguson and Michael Brown

In the process of tracking the coverage on Michael Brown and Ferguson, I've noticed a somewhat interrelated group of black men writers and other figures contributing to the discourse.  I wrote about black men writers and Michael Brown, and what I've provided below is a round-up of some of the writers and writings that have also caught my attention along these lines.  

I had followed Ta-Nehisi Coates, Trymaine Lee, Gene Demby, and Jelani Cobb fairly closely prior to the killing of Brown, so I looked forward to their commentary. I've gained considerable insight about the situation from Joel Anderson's and Wesley's reporting as well as the writings and works of others listed here.
