After watching news reports about the violence, chaos, and heartbreak unfolding in Ferguson, Mo., last weekend, Deray McKesson—a school administrator in Minneapolis—didn't hesitate. "I needed to bear witness and be a part of it and see it and be a part of this story," McKesson, a young African American, said in an interview Thursday. Having grown up in a tough Baltimore neighborhood with drug-addicted parents, McKesson saw himself in the young man whose death spurred the unrest. Yet after enduring stinging tear gas and dodging heavily armed police, McKesson is now bearing witness in a different way.

Photo taken on August 13, 2014 shows Kim Young-Oh, who lost his 16-year-old daughter in the Sewol ferry disaster, during a press conference at Gwanghwamun Square in SeoulThe father of one of the high school students killed in South Korea's ferry disaster was hospitalised Friday after mounting a 40-day hunger strike to demand a full independent inquiry. Kim Young-Oh, who lost his 16-year-old daughter when the Sewol ferry capsized in April, was sent to hospital from Seoul's central Gwanghwamun Square, where he had been protesting, Park Yong-Woo, a spokesman for the victims' families, told reporters. The Sewol capsized on April 16 off the country's southern coast with the loss of some 300 lives, most of them high school students on an organised trip. Some relatives of the victims have been camped out in Gwanghwamun for weeks to push parliament to pass legislation setting up a full, independent inquiry.
